Few places in Buffalo show the city's civic ambitions as clearly as the Buffalo Historical Society building, which stands inside Delaware Park, the green space Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux laid out in the 1870s. The society's home sits near the park's lake, so the photograph places a public institution within a landscape meant for residents to stroll and relax. Detroit Publishing Company photographers documented towns and parks across the country in the early 1900s, and this glass negative preserves how Buffalo presented its parkland and cultural buildings to the public at that time.
