Summary
DescriptionFormer Charles G. Curtiss Company Malt House, Buffalo, New York - 20220129.jpg |
English: As seen in January 2022, the former Charles G. Curtiss Company Malt House, found at 1100 Niagara Street in Buffalo, New York. This two-story brick building was erected in 1899, and though its architecture is largely utilitarian and doesn't conform to the precepts of any particular style, the stepped parapet fronting the front-gabled roof and the Gothic-arched corbel tables crowning the first floor are interesting touches indeed. The Charles G. Curtiss Company was one of the largest malthouses in Buffalo at the time, and one of the first in the nation to be powered by electricity, which was then cheaper in Buffalo than almost anywhere else, owing to the hydroelectric works at nearly Niagara Falls. Some years before the malthouse's construction, the company was inherited by Charles' son Dr. Alexander Main Curtiss, a practicing physician who ran it as a side hustle before selling it to the Fleischmann Company in 1911. When prohibition was enacted, the facility was converted to a cooperative grain storehouse, and remained in usea as such until 1982. Current owner Giles Kavanagh - a veteran preservation-focused developer whose CV includes the conversion of the former Schaefer Brothers Malt House on the Lower West Side into the home of nanobrewery Community Beer Works - purchased the building in 2013 with hopes of repurposing it into an events center using the Fàbrica Moritz reconversion project in Barcelona as his development model, but was on the brink of selling the building in 2021 when it was nominated as a City of Buffalo Landmark. Happily, the tax deductions coming his way for historically sensitive restoration work have placed the project once again on sound financial footing. |
