E.B.Green
Buffalo's foremost architect in the late 1800's and early 1900's, Edward Brodhead
Green's designs shaped and defined the City of Buffalo. During a 72-year career,
he designed much of the face of Buffalo we know today. More than 160 of his Buffalo
buildings still survive to this day.
 E.B.
Green's work touched on a number different architectural styles, running the spectrum
from Colonial Revival to Art Deco. He was a virtual design chameleon, easily changing
gears to stylistically meet the desires of his clients whether they be gor civic,
commercial, educational, religious, and residential buildings.
E.B. Green was born in 1855 in Utica, NY and was educated at Cornell University.
He came to Buffalo in 1881, retired in 1945, and died in 1950. Green
