DescriptionSt. Vincent's Female Orphan Asylum, Buffalo, New York - 20200405.jpg
English: View of the former Saint Vincent's Female Orphan Asylum on Ellicott Street, Buffalo, New York, April 2020. Built in 1899 to a design by the firm of Green & Wicks, the design is an eclectic one, incorporating elements of the Italianate style but with different window treatments on each story: simple rectangular ones on the basement and top floors, wide segmental arches spanning entire pairs of windows on the ground floor, Gothic arches on the second story enhanced with dog-tooth molding and with forked crosses in the tympanums, and narrower segmental arches on the third floor. The property operated as a girls' orphanage until 1952, after which point it served as home to Bishop O'Hern High School (until 1971), Erie Community College's City Campus (1971-1982), and, after a period of vacancy, the Health Sciences Charter School (2011-present).
