Summary
[edit]DescriptionSaint Clare Apartments - fmr Central Park Clinic, St. Francis Hospital - Buffalo, New York - 20220920.jpg |
English: The Saint Clare Apartments, 2787 Main Street at Benwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, September 2022. Built of steel-reinforced concrete with an attractive blonde brick exterior, this is a good example of the Neoclassical style of architecture that was all the rage at the time of its construction. The most distinguished architectural detailing is seen on the right aside of the façade, especially around the main entrance, which is framed by a two-story arch that's lined with glyphs and crowned by a decorative keystone in the form of an ancone. The entrance itself is set into a projecting section of the exterior wall that steps progressively outward from the main forward elevation, flanked by stylized pilaster strips supporting simple friezes and twin cornices crowning the third and fourth stories. On the other side of the building it's a decidedly more austere scenario, with a plain brick façade punctured regularly by flat-headed windows ornamented only with inconspicuous jack arches, a monotony otherwise broken only by a pair of simple stone belt courses that serve as leftward extensions of the more elaborate friezes and cornices. At far left, a porte-cochère leads to a rear parking lot. The building was originally a hospital, namely the Central Park Clinic, which served as a general-purpose facility for medical emergencies and securities that, in the words of a February 1929 Buffalo Evening News article about its impending opening, "combine[d] the comfort and convenience of a small model hotel with the equipment and medical staff of a hospital". Under the able management of Dr. Joseph Burke, formerly a leading executive at Sisters of Charity Hospital, the Central Park Clinic prospered to a degree that a fifth floor was added in 1931, increasing its overall capacity to 100 beds and enabling the establishment of a maternity ward. The facility was taken over by the Sisters of St. Francis in 1943, a few years after Dr. Burke's death, and under their management, the renamed St. Francis Hospital operated until 1992 as more or less a continuation of its previous self. It has served since then as affordable housing for senior citizens. |
