Physical Description

  • The former Immaculate Conception church (Roman Catholic). Sandstone and brick.

Current Condition

  • Undergoing restoration.
  • Dennis Maher is converting the church, which he has renamed Assembly House 150, into "a living laboratory for artistic and architectural experimentation, a place he calls 'A Center for the Urban Imaginary' designed to nurture the city’s collective imagination." (Colin Dabkowski, Buffalo News)

History

  • James Napora, at BuffaloAH: "The current structure is the amalgamation of two separate building campaigns. The transept and choir, dating from 1900, were designed by Max Beierl after travels to the cathedrals of Europe. Constructed of Medina sandstone, they contrast sharply with the nave and narthex. With the completion of the building in 1925, the seating capacity was increased to 900 people."
