Before we left for Buffalo, we researched places to see using several different sources. As I've mentioned, one was the excellent blogs being written by several people in Buffalo - and I've got many of those links on this site.
Another research method was books about Buffalo - and there have been a lot written over the past 100 years, and especially over the past 10 years(although many good ones are out of print). One that was particularly helpful was "Buffalo - Good Neighbors, Great Architecture". We're not new to Buffalo, having spent 30+ years there (me) and ~50 (my Mom). Nevertheless this book contains an enormous amount of information I never knew, and it was very helpful in locating the historical and industrial sites we wanted to see - as well as for filling me in on their background.
Unfortunately, it appears to be out of print... but as usual Amazon.com came thru! You'll find this book, and several more, in our Amazon.com store.
