County and City Hall – Buffalo, N.Y.



County and City Hall, also known as Erie County Hall, is a historic city hall and courthouse building located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It is a monumental granite structure designed by Rochester architect Andrew Jackson Warner and constructed between 1871 and 1875. The building has four floors and features a 270-foot high clock tower.

In 1851, the city bought the property at the northwest corner of Church and Franklin streets in Buffalo to be used for the Mayor’s office and other city offices. On this site, and constructed between 1871 and 1875, the city built a monumental granite structure designed by Rochester architect Andrew Jackson Warner (1833–1910). The building, now known as the County and City Hall, featured three floors and a large, seven-story clock tower. It held offices for the City of Buffalo and Erie County.

The County and City Hall building originally held offices for the City of Buffalo and Erie County. City offices moved to the Buffalo City Hall as it was being constructed starting in 1929, and the building now houses Erie County court offices and records.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, maintained by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1976.
