SHOT 8/29/10 1:04:46 PM - The E & B Holmes Manufacturing Company was once the country's leading barrel-making manufacturing company and later became one of the country's leading wood working machine manufacturers, with numerous patents to its credit. Located here for over 100 years, over time, the company downsized to a machine shop, and then moved from his location in 2001. The Holmes brothers, Edward and Britain, were among the thousands who came to Buffalo following the growth of the Erie Canal as a highway for commercial and economic growth in the nineteenth century. The warehouse and office space is currently being converted into loft living spaces. Buffalo, N.Y. is the second most populous city in the state of New York and is located in Western New York on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River. By 1900, Buffalo was the 8th largest city in the country, and went on to become a major railroad hub, the largest grain-milling center in the country and the home of the largest steel-making operation in the world. The latter part of the 20th Century saw a reversal of fortunes: by the year 1990 the city had fallen back below its 1900 population levels. .(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2010)
