Albright
Memorial Library

Vine Street at North Washington Avenue

Opened in 1893 and modelled on the Musée de Cluny in Paris, the Albright was designed by the Buffalo firm Green & Wicks. Its stained glass reproduces historic bookbinders’ marks, and stone owls and lions guard the door. A century on, what has changed is mostly the signage.
