Buffalo Rose, 7 Years Ago – Dave Powers  - Click to enlarge


7 Years Ago

My friend, Dave Powers, took these pictures on February 7, 2018. The Buffalo Rose was undergoing a massive remodeling at that time, and it was a fascinating opportunity to see interior walls that hadn’t seen daylight for nearly a century.

The several buildings that make up the present-day Buffalo Rose have served as restaurants and bars, a barber shop, department store, roller skating rink, swimming pool, and garage. The next time you visit the Rose, look for the plaques that describe those earlier uses!

The architect’s rendering (shown above) appeared on the fence that surrounded the building during construction. The photo below (Google images) shows the final product.

Thanks
