The Buffalo City Court Building is a 10-story court house built in 1974 for the city of Buffalo, New York. It is located in Niagara Square and adjacent to Buffalo City Hall.

Design

The structure is a classic example of Brutalist architecture; its façade is dominated by large Precast concrete panels with narrow windows. The design was conceived with limited windows in order to keep the courtrooms and judges' chambers free from outside distraction.[1]

Use

The building houses the 8th Judicial district Buffalo Housing Court, Landlord/Tenant Court, Small Claims, Commercial Claims, and Criminal Court.
