Klappentext Factual and entertaining, compact and easy to follow, A Walking Tour of the University at Buffalo takes the reader on a fascinating architectural tour of the State University of New York, the centerpiece of America's largest university system. Featuring guides of both the north and south campuses, their history and heritage, author Frances Rupley offers easy-to-follow maps as well as photographs of the most impressive structures. At the turn of this century, Buffalo was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the United States. It had a rich cultural and religious diversity, attracting immigrants from all of Europe to its many industries and transportation centers. These groups then formed ethnic neighborhoods, many of which remain. A Walking Tour also includes a leisurely driving tour of the city of Buffalo's many architectural treasures - including the Darwin D. Martin House, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, Delaware Park, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Kleinhans Music Hall, Pilot Field and much more - featuring designs by the world-renowned Frank Lloyd Wright, Frederick Law Olmsted, and many others. Sixty-eight black and white photographs, a glossary of architectural terms, and a complete index make this book versatile, engaging, and a joy to read as you explore the wonders of the "City on the Lake" and the crown jewel of the SUNY system.
