Taken from the upper reaches of St. Paul's Church, this view looks straight down Main Street in Buffalo, New York, letting the viewer take in the city's commercial spine from above. Buffalo grew rapidly after the Erie Canal opened in 1825, linking the Great Lakes to New York City, and Main Street became the route where merchants, banks, and hotels clustered around the arriving trade. Look at how the rooflines, street-level storefronts, and church spires define the streetscape, and how the vantage point shows the scale of a city built around water and rail.
