Overview

When this granite Victorian building opened in 1872, it served as Erie County Hall, and Buffalo's City Hall, until the opening in 1931 of the current City Hall. The lobby area houses large murals featuring early Buffalo and Great Lakes scenes. A large clock tower stands tall over the building's exterior. Although known as the "Old" Erie County Hall, it is still an active part of the county's infrastructure, housing courtrooms, vital records, and other services.
