1875 Niagara Street has been the beneficiary of a Buffalo Main Streets Initiative (BMSI) grant. The funding allowed for the building’s second and third floors to be glassed. Combined, the upper floors are 13,710 SF, which provides for plenty of creative uses. Hopefully, these future uses will be in similar veins as The Story Garage, which now occupies a good chunk of the first floor, in the commercial storefront.
Back in 2018, I covered 1875 Niagara Street, when its first floor storefronts were initially installed. Since that time, the building has been undergoing incremental rejuvenation. The owner of The Story Garage – Neil Gerard – has created a vintage destination on Niagara Street.
Thanks to guidance from the Black Rock Riverside Alliance, and its Executive Director, Anne McCooey, this historic Black Rock neighborhood is getting the resources that it needs to become one of the latest success stories in Buffalo. 1875 Niagara Street is just one example of a number of developments and renovation projects that are coming to pass.
