History

- The Majestic Theatre was built on the property in 1912 and stood until 1927.
- The A. Victor & Company, a well-known buffalo furniture department store, built the Victor Building in 1927. It stood at the site until 1981.
- In 1981, a bland extension of the Genesee Building was constructed on the site. Genesee Street, a vital east-west corridor of the city, was also blocked.
