Comments on the fall Members Only Tour :
We both totally enjoyed the 12 noon tour. What a great idea - going “behind the scenes” to poke around. Super!! We look forward to not only the spring member’s only tour, but also a clean-up day. We are both willing to come in & tackle an area!

We enjoyed the tour, and because the time went so quickly we ended up wishing it had been longer. The commentary and background information was very helpful and added historic depth as well as a view to what the future could hold for the building.
I’m very interested in seeing more of the inside and would love to tour the tower some day.
For now, it’s just great to know that it’s been saved and that so many of you loyal volunteers are looking out for any further predatory or destructive activity. It’s a big place and not an easy task to keep out unwanted intruders.
That building was meant to last for centuries…not one person’s lifetime, or just long enough to outlast tax depreciation. It is truly a monument to the excellence we were once capable of, and shame on us (as a society) for
ever letting it get so badly run down.
Long live Buffalo Central!
