Buffalo City Court Building, Brutalist courthouse in Buffalo, United States
The Buffalo City Court Building rises ten stories high with its strong geometric forms and large precast concrete panels at 50 Delaware Avenue.
The architectural firm Pfohl, Roberts and Biggie designed this judicial complex in 1971, completing the construction process by 1974.
The building exemplifies the brutalist movement through raw concrete surfaces, narrow window openings, and functional design elements that shape the urban landscape.
The courthouse operates from Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM, providing services for civil, criminal, housing, and small claims proceedings.
The structure incorporates minimal window openings to reduce external distractions for judges and court proceedings within the chambers.
