Saint Adalbert Basilica is a historic Roman Catholic church located on Buffalo, New York’s East Side within the Diocese of Buffalo. It is a prime example of the Polish Cathedral style of church architecture in both its opulence and grand scale. A rare and special designation bestowed on the parish occurred in 1907, when the Vatican proclaimed St. Adalbert a basilica, the first in the USA. The proclamation, as well as its English translation, can be viewed to this day in the basilica’s museum room.
The parish of Saint Adalbert was founded in 1886 by Polish immigrants who had come to Buffalo in search of work. The first church building was a small wooden structure that was built on the corner of Sycamore and Swan streets. The parish grew rapidly, and in 1890, the cornerstone for a new, larger church was laid. The new church, which was designed by architect Edward Brodhead Green, was dedicated in 1891.
