Prudential Building, Historical skyscraper in downtown Buffalo, United States.
The Prudential Building rises 51 meters with 13 floors, featuring a reddish-brown terra cotta exterior that combines geometric shapes and natural patterns.
Architects Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler completed this steel-frame office building in 1896, demonstrating innovative construction methods for tall structures of that period.
The building displays Sullivan's architectural principle of form follows function through its clear division into public spaces, office levels, and utility areas.
Located at 28 Church Street, the structure maintains its original purpose as an office building, currently serving as headquarters for the Hodgson Russ law firm.
The exterior terra cotta decoration incorporates patterns derived from nature, with detailed floral motifs covering the facade from ground to roof level.
