A Gothic Revival manufacturing and warehouse building that grew in stages from the mid-19th century into the 20th, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
At a glance
The Turner Brothers’ Building–American Household Storage Company is a historic manufacturing and warehouse complex in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. Its oldest section dates to about 1848. A four-story, wood-framed building with a brick face, it is designed in the Gothic Revival style. Later additions expanded the complex considerably.
History
The original block was built around 1848. Construction continued in phases for nearly a century. Rear additions went up in 1889 and 1940. A six-story, two-bay reinforced concrete addition followed in 1910. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
What you see
The earliest portion is four stories tall, with a wood frame concealed behind a brick facade. Its Gothic Revival character sets it apart from the later reinforced concrete addition. That 1910 section rises six stories across two bays. Behind the main block, three-story additions from 1889 and 1940 complete the complex.
Cultural significance
The building documents Buffalo’s industrial and commercial growth across several eras. Its mix of 19th-century brick construction and early 20th-century reinforced concrete reflects changing building methods. National Register listing in 2013 confirmed its local historic value.
