Construction Guard: Carousel Square

The KeyBank round building on Canalside is nearing completion. The eight-story facility will be built on an 8,565-square-foot site near the corner of Prime and Perry Streets. After a delay in work related to Covid, the Buffalo Carousel Heritage was waiting to be reopened to the public on Memorial Day.

The vintage carousel was manufactured in 1924 by Spillman Engineering in North Town for Dominic De Angelis. The carousel operated until the 1950s, when it was maintained by the De Angelis family until the Buffalo heritage acquired it for family-oriented recreation on the Buffalo coast and the celebration of West New York’s industrial heritage.

Arbor Management Management oversees the construction and Eco_Logic Studio design of the circulation house.

Sometimes the authors at Buffalo Rice work together in a collaborative effort to capture different events and stories. These writings cannot be attributed to a single author as it is a joint effort. Often the formation of a post is started by one writer and passed on to one or more writers before the end. Sometimes there are authorial qualities at the end of one of these posts. Other times, “Buffalo Rises” is only offered as the creator of the article. In either case, the inscription is original for Buffalo Rising.
