Buffalo City Hall is a 32-story Art Deco skyscraper at 65 Niagara Square. It is 398 feet tall and was completed on November 10, 1931. It was dedicated on July 1, 1932, to mark the city's Centennial.
The building cost $6,851,546.85 including the architect's fees, which made it one of the costliest city halls in the country. It has 1,520 windows on the first 25 floors, and all of them open inward, so there is no need for window washers outside.
The architects were Dietel, Wade & Jones. The friezes were sculpted by Albert Stewart and carried out by Rene Paul Chambellan. Near the top are polychrome terra cotta chevrons, and the walls are covered in Ohio sandstone and gray Minnesota limestone.
