description: 'There are two tours available: the "Architecture Timeline: Downtown Walking Tour", and the "Turn of the Century Treasures Tour". <br/><br/> The "Architecture Timeline: Downtown Walking Tour" is a chronological walk through architectural time from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. We’ll see excellent examples of all the major architectural styles prevalent in commercial and government office construction during this period. Tour begins at: Northeast Corner of Pearl Street and Seneca Street across from <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pearl+Street+Grill+%26+Brewery/@42.8810379,-78.8767487,16.75z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x7ce880149997095c!8m2!3d42.8810116!4d-78.8772641">Pearl Street Brewery</a>. (Seneca Station Light Metro Rail - free above ground). <br/><br/> The "Turn of the Century Treasures Tour" is a downtown walking tour of some of the best examples of the Beaux-Arts style in Buffalo! Popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Beaux-Arts, which translates as “Beautiful Arts” and began in Paris, is characterized by elaborate detail and ornamentation, with many classical influences. The buildings seen on this tour exemplify Buffalo at the turn of the twentieth century, when the city was the eighth largest in America and hosted the Pan-American Exposition. Many were designed by prominent local architectural firms, including Green & Wicks and Esenwein & Johnson. This tour begins at: Front entrance of Hotel @ the Lafayette, 391 Washington St, Buffalo, NY 14203 (Church Street Station Light Metro Rail). <br/><br/> Cost is $15 at registration, and sign up is available during conference registration. There will be 15 people max on each tour.'
