Buffalo City Hall

A very nice art deco style building, I would say the entryway is my favorite of its architecture. Buffalo City Hall has a lot of character, murals, and interior beauty with seeing, but the real jewel here is the observation desk. An elevator ride and a hike up a few flights of stairs and you'll be above it all with some absolutely amazing 360° views.

The Buffalo City Hall is a striking example of Art Deco architecture that flourished in the 1930s. Its imposing structure not only reflects the grandeur and ambition of the era but also the technical and artistic skill of the architects and builders of that time. Unique features like the decorated domes bear witness to meticulous attention to detail and a lasting aesthetic sense. Inside, the building houses offices for city government officials, council chambers, and various administrative departments. One of the notable features is the 28th-floor observation deck, offering panoramic views of the city and Lake Erie. You must be there before 4:30 pm.

The building itself is a deco work of art, with an awesome observation platform at the top. The employees who I have interacted with are generally friendly and helpful. The only thing that I don't like are the modern security checkpoints, as I miss being able to just walk in and enjoy the spacious entry foyer. I have yet to encounter a worker at City Hall ( other than a couple of Buffalo Public School administrators) who wasn't pleasant and helpful.

Lovely architecture on the outside and main floor, but the rest of the building is a bit rundown and in need of care. The observation deck offers cool views of Buffalo.

Real nice art-deco lobby! The observation deck is free and zero people were there when I went. (Unfortunately the balcony part of the observation deck was closed.) You’d think think place would be popular, but it seemed surprisingly off the beaten path.

The building itself is beautiful, and the lobby is just as breathtaking. The art deco style is wonderful. The free observation deck on the 28th floor provides a 360 view of the surrounding area. You can see the high rises in Niagara Falls to the north and the Bills training field to the South. A wonderful and uniquely buffalo experience that doesn't cost a cent

Cool Art Deco piece to see if you’re an Art Deco fan. Inside has a lot of cool pieces of art to see. The observation deck is alright if you enjoy views of metropolitan cities. Truthfully unless you do the tour you could see and experience the building in under an hour. Still cool to see if you need something to do.

The observation deck alone and the architecture, the frescoes and sculptures is worth the five stars. However, its a shame the reportedly amazing council chambers are not open to visitors when not in session. This aficionado of parliamentary tourism, yes there's such a thing, was disappointed. I'll have to return when council is in session.
