History
- Built in 1888.
- Long time location of Stritzinger's saloon
- Per Chris Hawley: "The building was the location, at various times, of a saloon, shoe store, speakeasy, billiard hall, barber shop, and heating contractor business. Hariton Blocha's "soft drink" establishment in the 1920s was, like hundreds of others in Buffalo, almost certainly a front for an alcohol-serving speakeasy, this one likely catering to railroad workers who once plied away along the iron rails and in the car repair shops of the Hydraulics."
