History

  • Former E.W. Edwards & Son department store
  • 1937 - Space leased to Neisner Brothers five and dime
  • 1978 - Ames Department Stores purchased Neisner and shuttered their locations
  • 1980 - Building re-opened as Courtyard Mall after interior and exterior renovations. The Permanent Saving Bank occupied the ground floor while the basement was a food court
  • 1990 - The property sits vacant for over a decade beginning in 1990.
    • Oliver Tyrone Pulver and Corporex Cos., both large out-of-town developers, at different times studied the possibility of building a high rise office building on the site. Both developments failed to materialize Buffalo Rising
  • 1995 - Carl Paladino’s Ellicott Development purchased the property for $367,000.
