(By Carl Skompinski) Funding has been obtained to prepare the paperwork to have Fillmore Avenue from Best St. to Seneca St. added the National Registry for Buffalo’s Olmsted Park System. The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy is leading this effort.
To properly prepare the application for consideration we are looking for pictures from 1920’s and earlier of Fillmore Ave. – between the streets mentioned.
If you know where pictures can be found or if you have pictures – family or otherwise and would like to help this effort, you can contact Anthony James (Tony) tony@bfloparks.org or Carl Skompinski – cshunter32@gmail.com In the Subject Header please state: “Fillmore Ave. Olmsted – Pictures”
You can exclude suggestions from typical sources – Public Library, Buffalo History Museum, Fulton Web Site.
All efforts are appreciated. We can make this happen.
