Originally the Automobile Club Room: there was an Auto Club logo on the exterior "...
fronting on Ellicott Street, is a large room with a rich architectural
treatment in plaster similar to the dining room, also part of the
1909-1911 Bethune addition. Now subdivided into small rooms with
a drop ceiling, the room features pilasters supporting a beamed ceiling
rendered in plaster. When the hotel addition opened this space
was used as the downtown office of the Automobile Club of Buffalo,
later part of the American Automobile Association (AAA), and served as
such for several decades." - WCPerspective, History of The
