Bley & Lyman |

Style: |
Commercial Neoclassical (Temple front) |
This building is modeled after the 1913 M&T central bank in downtown Buffalo.
Although this building is a Classical style building, Duane Lyman was one of Buffalo's most important mid-century architects who designed a number of noteworthy Art Deco and Modern style commercial buildings.
A further connection with M&T is that Lyman was the local architect for M&T's central bank (Postmodern style) which was designed primarily by Minoru Yamasaki, at the same time Yamasaki was designing the World Trade Center in NYC.
