Date Built

Originally known as the Dennis Building, the Stanton Building is located in what was known as the Commerce and Finance Corridor in Buffalo's early years. The facade of this edifice is entirely cast-iron, a revolutionary 19th-century building material, and is the only surviving example of the many such buildings that existed in Buffalo. At the turn of the century, Buffalo played a dominant role in iron production, because of its location between the ore fields of the upper Great Lakes and the coal mines of Pennsylvania. Many important architectural ironwork firms were located in Buffalo and their names are found throughout the City.

Turn around and take a right onto Swan Street. Head two blocks East.
