BUFFALO : GOTHIC CITY


We just got back from Buffalo where we spent the weekend exploring.  One of our stops was Gothic City Antiques: masonic temple turned architectural storehouse and stop-over for the detritus of life.  Located in a derelict part of town, the yard is full of choice bathtubs, sinks and garden features.  The price however does not match the snow-covered condition of the goods.  For example, the vintage Crane sink that I purchased elsewhere for $40, was selling for $175.  Inside the building, a dichotomy between conditions (cold and cluttered) and price point continues.  However, it is worth a visit if you are looking for a bit of a rummage in an incredibly strange building.  We feel no twinges of regret at leaving  it all  behind state lines.
