SHOT 7/7/14 3:00:48 PM - Details in the terra cotta facade of The Guaranty Building in Buffalo, N.Y. The supporting steel structure of the building was embellished with terra cotta blocks and ornament is one of the most defining characteristics of the Guaranty. Different styles of block delineated the three visible zones of the building. The Guaranty, now called the Prudential Building, is an early skyscraper in Buffalo, New York. It was completed in 1896 and was designed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler. Buffalo, N.Y. is the second most populous city in the state of New York. Located in Western New York on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River across from Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, Buffalo is the seat of Erie County and the principal city of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area, the largest in Upstate New York. 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 / © 2014)
