Saint Mary of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church
Saint Mary of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church, Roman Catholic church in Buffalo, United States.
The stone structure at 938 Genesee Street features a 235-foot tower and follows the Rhenish Romanesque Revival architectural design with a Latin cross floor plan.
German immigrants established the church in 1872, with construction completed in 1891 under the guidance of architect Adolphus Druiding using local blue limestone materials.
The building transformed from a Catholic parish to the King Urban Life Center, now housing the King Center Charter School while maintaining its original altar and chancel.
The structure underwent extensive renovations between 1986 and 1996, including a new roof, bell tower repairs, facade cleaning, and modern safety system installations.
Four classrooms were built within the sanctuary space during renovations, creating an educational environment while preserving the religious architectural elements of the building.
