The Tower

My father was employed by the architectural firm and did daily markups of the progress on sets of the plans, which were forwarded to their main office for review.
I remember arriving at the terminal on my way home from basic training at Fort Dix in 1966.
I visited the Conrail offices on one of the upper floors with a friend who worked for the Buffalo Sewer Dept., probably in 1970 or maybe 1972. Managed a short ride in one of the engines that day :-)
My wife and I went to a dance held in the main concourse some years after that. At that time some owner or other was trying to drum up interest in the building and the main concourse was in pretty good shape, but the side rooms were a shambles.
I wonder what ever happened to the huge statue of the Buffalo that used to be in the concourse? I hope it was saved.
Your site is an absolute treasure trove and I really appreciate your efforts.
