Lincoln Pkwy.
Buffalo, NY 14216
The original structure, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted’s partner Calvert Vaux in 1874, served as a boathouse located at the western end of the lake. In 1885, the boathouse was enlarged due to its popularity, but sadly was destroyed by a fire in 1900.
The structure was rebuilt in time for the 1901 Pan-American Exposition that took place throughout Delaware Park. The new 3-story building, designed by Buffalo architect E.B. Green, officially became known as the Delaware Park Casino and served as a popular gathering place on Hoyt Lake until 1960.
The expanding city and move toward modernization led to the total renovation of the Casino in 1961, removing any trace of E.B. Green’s design. In 1990, the Casino was “restored” to a style that reflected Olmsted, Vaux, and Green’s simpler designs.
