The Larkin Terminal Warehouse is located at 726 Exchange Street, Buffalo, New York in a neighborhood known as the "Hydraulics". The neighborhood was one of Buffalo's earliest industrial districts and it derived its name from the construction of a small hydraulic canal. The building, clearly visible from the I-190 interstate, was originally part of the Larkin Company and was one of the last constructed buildings in the complex.[1] The building has a radio tower on top of it which was erected by WBEN in 1936.[2]
The Larkin Company owned the building until 1967, when it was sold to Graphic Controls. In 2001, CityView Properties purchased the building from Graphic Controls. The group has spent over 40 million dollars in renovations to the building. [3] On September 10th 2009, First Niagara Financial Group relocated its corporate headquarters to the Larkin Terminal Warehouse building.
