Summary
| Description |
English: The Title Guarantee Building, corner of Franklin and West Eagle Streets, downtown Buffalo. Interesting history here. One of the oldest remaining buildings in the city (erected 1833) and the sole extant one to have been erected by Benjamin Rathbun, the most prolific builder in Buffalo's earliest history. Home of First Unitarian Church until 1880, where Reverend George Hosmer preached weekly to locals and luminaries including three U.S. Presidents (Lincoln, Fillmore, and Quincy Adams); they moved several times since then and are still active on Elmwood Avenue today. After that, the building was enlarged (a third floor was added and it was lengthened on the Eagle Street side, at left in the photo) and converted to offices, including at various times over the years those of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, the architecture firm of Green and Wicks, and the eponymous Title Guarantee Company. |
