204 High Street-291 Maple Street, an Italianate brick structure circa 1870, is one of the oldest in Buffalo's Fruit Belt neighborhood and its proposed destruction prompts neighborhood residents to respond with concern about the fate of this historic home and the unique architectural fabric of the community. We residents wish to retain the historic, unique architectural character of the neighborhood and strongly oppose its demolition and support efforts to rehabilitate and reuse. Please preserve our neighborhood, with its street level urban fabric, historic buildings, walkability, and architectural diversity, by saving 204 High Street.
