    Chip in for the Buffalo Terminal lamp here

    Bring a Piece of the Central Terminal Home to Buffalo for the Holidays



    On 11/13/2012, the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation (CTRC) posted a link on their Facebook page to an antique dealer in Toronto who was selling the light fixture you see in the picture above. Broadway Fillmore Alive then shared the same link on our Facebook page a day or two later. After it was posted, Tony Fracasso (Online Media/SpeakUpWNY.com) commented he would be willing to give $100 towards an effort to purchase the fixture and bring it home. Not too long after that Greg Witul (Local Author/Writer for Am-Pol Eagle) and Karen Siuda McCann (Grew up in the neighborhood and now lives in Austin, TX) posted that they would be interested in helping raise the funds. I emailed all three directly and we decided to kickoff an effort to raise the funds necessary to bring this piece of the Central Terminal back home to Buffalo.
    After contacting the owner, they were gracious enough to extend us the same offer they extended the CTRC. The original asking price was $9000, but the dealer will sell it back for use in the Terminal for $3000. We are trying to raise $3100 to cover any additional cost which may occur.
