FB Tour: Feb. 20, 2009 - Lurkin Around the Larkin District
With the conversion of the former Larkin Terminal Warehouse into high-end office space, a little known area of Buffalo near Seneca & Fillmore Avenues has come back to life. Known for many years as the “Hydraulics,” the neighborhood in and around John D. Larkin’s sprawling factory complex was one of Buffalo’s earliest manufacturing districts. On Feb. 20, 2009, Forgotten Buffalo toured the Larkin District, learn about this unique urban landscape, visit the famous “Our Lady of Seneca Street” shrine and experience the neighborhood through the windows of classic Buffalo taverns.
