General Mills Building, 1940's

Buffalo has few industrial buildings in the International Style of architecture,
which manifested itself in the 1920's
and 1930's. Like its endangered sister building, the A.M.& A's store on
Main Street, the General Mills building
shows the horizontal bands of windows and geometric shape characteristic of
the International Style. The
building is still intact and used in 2004.

H. Conlin. The former department store, located at 377-289 Main, is likley doomed
to demolition.
