Go to Map Chippewa Street Chippewa Street





In the early 1800s the corner of Pearl and Chippewa Streets marked the limits of the Village of Buffalo. Around 1845 three adjacent structures were built on Pearl Street, but the only one that survives today is located on that corner. In 1981, a pizzeria opened in that location, formally a residential row house with Greek Revival architecture. The establishment was one of the few legitimate businesses in what was then the City's "red light" district. The street's fortunes began to change when a local entrepreneur restored the Calumet Arts Building in the mid-1990s. Completed in 1906, its ceramic structure and eaves of two-tone terra cotta and ivory are characteristics of turn-of-the- century Buffalo architecture. It is located at the southeast corner of Chippewa and Franklin Streets.
