The First Presbyterian Church in Buffalo, New York was the first organized religious body formed in what was then the western frontier of New York State. The town of Buffalo was sparsely populated when the church was organized on February 2, 1812.
Ground breaking took place and the first services were held in the newly built chapel on September 11, 1889, then on December 13, 1891, the first services were held in the newly constructed sanctuary. However, the new building was not dedicated until after the completion of the tower on May 16, 1897.

We were here visiting the Kleinhaus Music Center across the street, when I noticed the church. It bell tower is very striking
