Nostalgic Buffalo

A Pictorial View of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Western New York, and Beyond at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

ISBN

978-1-955180-07-8

The United States Library of Congress (LOC) maintains an incredible collection of public domain photographs taken throughout the United States (primarily East of the Mississippi River) in the late 1800s and early 1900s by Detroit Publishing Company.

This book includes the best of the LOC's Detroit Publishing Company collection from Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Western New York, and beyond. Many of these images had seen the effects of age, so all pictures included in this publication have been cleaned to remove stray marks, stains, and fingerprints. When necessary, they have been strategically cropped. As you peruse these pages, you will see how the beautiful, high-resolution, black and white images provide a gorgeous, nostalgic look into simpler times in a burgeoning region with unlimited potential, magnificent architecture, diverse culture, hard-working residents, and breathtaking natural scenery.
