| 説明 | Founded in 1997, the Buffalo Transportation Pierce Arrow Museum houses a large collection of classic cars, motorcycles, and other historic automobile-related artifacts, with a specific focus on the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company, which operated in Buffalo between 1901 and 1938. The museum was initially located in a one-story former commercial building on Michigan Avenue, opening in 2001 to coincide with the centennial of the Pan-American Exposition. The museum was expanded in 2011-2012 to feature a new two-story postmodern-style wing that houses a reproduction of a filling station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Tydol company, which had been intended to be built in Buffalo. The museum is filled with a collection that includes cars dating between 1903 and the 1960s, with several examples of automobiles manufactured in Buffalo by the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company, as well as bicycles, fuel pumps, automobile memorabilia, horse-drawn carriages, motorcycles, and a reconstruction of a filling station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1927 for the Tydol Gas Company. The building itself is relatively simple, with the original section having a red brick exterior, limestone trim, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, blind window openings infilled with darker brick cladding, and a barrel vaulted roof at the rear, with the cladding on this building having been replaced during the 2011-2012 renovation to closely match the addition. The 2011-2012 addition is two stories in height, with a large interior atrium housing a filling station exhibit, with a clerestory on the roof, red brick cladding, a large curtain wall facing Seneca Street, a primary entrance featuring a semi-circular parapet with a metal wheel with spokes embedded into the wall above the door, and cement block cladding on the Carroll Street sides of the building. The museum has a constantly rotating collection on display, and occasionally hosts special events. |
