English: The former Engline No. 15 fire hall, 64 Amherst Street at East Street, Buffalo, New York, July 2020. Part of the Market Square Historic District that preserves the core of what was once the independent Village of Black Rock, the firehouse was built in 1912 and was the second building to house this particular division of the Buffalo Fire Department; its predecessor was located a block east and was demolished when Amherst Street was reconstructed to pass underneath the New York Central Belt Line Railroad, rather than crossing it at grade. Architecturally, it's assumed to be the work of Thomas W. Harris, who also designed the similarly styled Engine No. 34 the same year; his hybridization of the Arts and Crafts (manifested in the sprawling hip roof with widely overhanging eaves) and Italianate (the brackets underneath said roof eaves, the segmental arches and voussoirs crowning the windows, and the design of the tower) styles is an unusual one indeed, and a sharp contrast with the neighboring buildings, which are mostly wood-frame Greek Revival houses dating to the early to mid-19th century; some of the oldest extant buildings in the city). The station was in use until 1976, it's now apartments.
