The city boasts extraordinary architectural heritage: five Frank Lloyd Wright buildings (including the Darwin Martin House), H.H. Richardson's Buffalo State Asylum, and Louis Sullivan's Guaranty Building. Buffalo's 600+ NHL-listed buildings and extensive historic districts create exceptional heritage scanning demand.
