One of Buffalo's oldest places of worship, St. Joseph's has been the main facility of Buffalo's Catholic Diocese since it opened in 1851. Built of gray limestone per the design of New York City architect Patrick C. Keeley, the Cathedral features three stained glass windows above the main altar, depicting the Incarnation, Redemption and Resurrection, which were gifts to Buffalo's Bishop Timon from Ludwig, King of Bavaria. All 5,300 pipes of the haunting 1876 Hook & Hastings Centennial Organ resound through the structure and summon keepers of the faith to worship. Services are held at varying times.

World-renowned for being one of the first true "skyscrapers," because of the use of a full steel frame, this building was the design of famous American architect Louis Sullivan, and opened in 1895. The terra-cotta facade is very ornate, featuring geometric designs as well as foliage. Inside, the original lobby skylights and tile mosaics remain intact. Saved from the wrecking ball in the 1980s by local citizens, this beautiful edifice is also known locally by the name it bore for much of its earlier life: the Prudential Building.
Located in Buffalo, New York, this historic Romanesque structure consists of a Roman Catholic Church, a school building and a parish house, all built in the early 1900s. The church has a medieval-style handmade brick structure and has one of the largest collections of colorful architectural terracotta décor which are said to be handmade and took two men two years to do the fittings. The awe-stimulating variety of symbols and pictures remain the highlighting feature of the church.
