Built in 1903, The Goodyear Mansion & Residences was part of the famed “Millionaire’s Row.” A stretch of Delaware Avenue between North Street and Bryant Avenue lined with extravagant mansions and lush gardens for Buffalo’s most wealthy. The two blocks were the most desirable residential addresses in the city.

Today, the area’s allure continues with The Goodyear Mansion & Residences. The building’s facade is brick trimmed with ornate wood paneling and dazzling stained glass windows in the interior. In these sleek modern apartments, you’ll live in timeless style in one of Buffalo’s most exciting neighborhoods. Inside the main house there are two rooms for smaller gathering.  An amazing marble fireplace stands from floor to ceiling in the lobby/ main room as a prestigious focal point.   A catering menu will be published shortly as food will come from the Admiral Room/ Vault @237.
