Repurposing massive, specific use, vacant, historically and culturally significant structures is not easily accomplished. The Art Deco Buffalo Central Terminal, a National Register former railroad station, and the Richardson Olmsted Complex, a National Historic Landmark former asylum designed by H. H. Richardson and F. L. Olmsted, are prominent structures that are undergoing transformation. Tour these architectural jewels to learn about their past, present, and future, with special access to rarely seen spaces. As both sites are vacant and without heat, cold weather clothes may be necessary.
