Building Description: Originally the Buffalo Savings Bank, this building was designed by prolific Buffalo architects Green & Wicks in 1901. The murals that adorn the ceilings were completed in 1926, painted by Frances, Davidson & Savage Painting Company. At the top of the dome is a quote from the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius, which reads, “Virtue is the root, and wealth is the flower.” The golden age of Buffalo is represented with four panels: Commerce, Industry, the Arts, and Power.
