Description:
Located in the Fruit Belt A a neighborhood that’s on the cusp of radical change thanks to the presence on its western flank of the ”’Buffalo Niagara Medical Corridor”’, a huge engine of the region’s emerging high-tech economy that will employ some 17,000 people when complete Buffalo’s smallest historic district comprises three properties on both sides of High Street between Maple and Mulberry Streets. The buildings that make up the district are the former ”’High Street Baptist Church”’ at 215 High Street, built in 1883 and now home to the ”’Promiseland Missionary Baptist Church”’, a red brick church in a hybrid Romanesque and Gothic style whose stout, angled bell tower has long been a neighborhood landmark, the three-story Italianate at ”’195 High Street”’ built in 1875 as home to Henry Schirmer’s meat market and now the site of the ”’High Street Deli”’, the oldest continuously operating food market in the city, and the 1871 ”’Meidenbauer-Morgan House”’ at 204 High Street, the long-vacant home of a succession of two local doctors whose planned demolition to make way for a new grocery store was the factor that spurred the historic district’s creation.
