Buffalo City Hall: An Evaluation Introduction to Architecture Project # 3 Buffalo City Hall: An Evaluation City Hall is one of the most distinguished buildings in all of Buffalo, located at the head of Niagara Square facing Court Street. Many Architects and critics say that Buffalo would not be the same without City Hall. The building of City Hall began with the ground breaking on September 16, 1929. At the time, the price of this Buffalo landmark was a pretty hefty sum, $6,851,546.85, making this building of the most expensive city halls in the country. Also, City Hall was not just an expensive venture by the Buffalo Government, it also turned out to be one of the largest city halls in the country at 71,700 square feet. City Hall was built by the John W. Cowper Company; the same firm that designed the Statler Towers and the Buffalo Athletic Club prior to the design of City Hall. Located at the end of Court Street, City Hall represents the edge of the Financial District in Buffalo that consists of Court Street above City Hall.
