Church of the Transfiguration, Buffalo

Church of the Transfiguration, Buffalo, Catholic church building in Buffalo, New York, United States

The Church of the Transfiguration is a vacant Gothic Revival church at the corner of Mills and Sycamore Streets in Buffalo, New York. Polish immigrants built it in 1896 for $76,000, and it closed in 1991. Its roof collapsed on 16 November 2020 after a storm with high winds, and the building remains disused.

Polish immigrants built the Church of the Transfiguration in 1896 for $76,000, and it opened for services the following year. It remained in use until 1991, when its Polish parishioners moved to Buffalo's suburbs and elsewhere in the United States. Demolition was permitted in 1994, but Paul Francis Associates bought the building for $7,000; repairs followed in 2007, and the roof collapsed in a storm on 16 November 2020.

The parish was founded by Polish immigrants, and the church served them until 1991, when most moved to Buffalo's suburbs and elsewhere in the United States. Its Polish name, Kościół Przemienienia Pańskiego, recalls that community. The building has stood vacant since, and its roof collapsed on 16 November 2020.

The building is vacant and closed to the public, so there are no visiting hours; it can only be seen from the street at the corner of Mills and Sycamore. After the roof collapsed in the storm of 16 November 2020, the structure is unsafe, and viewing from a distance is advisable.

The roof collapsed completely on 16 November 2020 after a storm with high winds, leaving the vacant Gothic Revival shell open to the weather. The building had already survived a 1994 demolition permit when Paul Francis Associates bought it for $7,000.
