Looking Backward: Jacob Dold Building, 643 Main Street

by / May. 31, 2017 12am EST

An early example of “facadism,” the Jacob Dold Building in the Theater Historic District is one of the rare City of Buffalo-sponsored saves following three decades of nonstop downtown demolition. In this photograph taken sometime in the late 1980s, the facade of the former home to Swiss Chalet, severely damaged by fire, is incorporated into the Market Arcade development. It has been home to the Bijou Grille since 1991.
