Built during Buffalo’s gilded age, they tell a story of the city’s past and add to a sense of pride in all that Buffalo has to offer. We’re fortunate that these exquisite homes have been saved and are now used in so many different ways. Our tour will include several structures designed by renowned local and nationally known architects. We’ve been invited to see many of the interiors of these remarkable structures. This is a tour you won’t want to miss! Lunch follows in the Site’s new Carriage House.
