Resumen

Descripción
English: Built in 1925, this Classical Revival-style 23-story skyscraper was designed by Alfred C. Bossom for the Liberty National Bank. It was the tallest and largest building in Buffalo when completed, surpassing the size of the Ellicott Square Building and the height of the Electric Tower, with the building itself being surpassed in height four years later by the Rand Tower, a block to the east on the north side of Lafayette Square. The building is relatively narrow north-south, and stretches longways parallel to Court Street between Main Street and Pearl Street. The building features a tripartite composition like many other Classically-inspired skyscrapers in Buffalo, but with two stepped pyramids on the roof at the east and west ends of the building, topped with scale replicas of the Statue of Liberty that face east and west, respectively, sculpted by Leo Lentelli. A third Statue of Liberty replica once sat on a canopy over the Main Street entrance, which has since been removed. The base of the building is clad in terra cotta with rustication on the first floor, retail spaces on the Main Street side of the building, decorative surrounds at the doorways, recessed vertical bays on the second and third floor with paired windows, decorative balustrades at the base, dentils below the third floor windows, and doric pilasters flanking the bays, a cornice with dentils and sculpted heads, and a terra cotta-clad fourth floor with pilasters and a cornice at the top. Above the fourth floor, the building is clad in buff brick, with the “shaft” of the building’s facade running from the fifth floor to the seventeenth floor, with pilasters running up the facade and symmetrically placed single and paired windows. A small cornice with modillions runs around the sill line of the seventeenth floor windows, with a larger cornice above the seventeenth floor windows, Palladian window bays in the central bays below the stepped pyramids on the roof, with ionic engaged columns, copper spandrels and pilasters between the windows, and arched windows on the twentieth floor, rosettes flanking the arched portion of the Palladian windows, belt coursing at the sill line of the twentieth floor windows, and a cornice with modillions, dentils, and carved heads at the roofline of the building. The middle section of the building is set back between the two end towers on the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth floors, with ionic pilasters between the window bays, and a parapet enclosing a low-slope roof above. Along the east and west ends of the building are pyramidal tops on the twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third floors, with cornices around the top of the two lower floors with dentils and decorative cresting above, and stepped pyramids above, with copper replicas of the Statue of Liberty at the top. A four-bay twenty-story addition built in 1961 was designed by Duane Lyman and Associates, expanding the first-floor banking hall and adding additional office space on the upper floors, which features a simpler facade clad in buff brick, terminating in a low-slope roof. The building today has retail tenants on the first floor, with a variety of commercial office tenants on the upper floors.
