The Buffalo Central Terminal was an active railroad station from 1929 to 1979, designed by architects Fellheimer & Wagner for the New York Central Railroad. It’s now owned by preservation group Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, which is working to restore and re-purpose the complex to its former glory.
