Elephants in Buffalo

This photo was probably taken in the mid to late 1930s. Circus animals were walked through the streets to get to the arena from their train. From the taller buildings in the background it looks like we are looking up Broadway toward downtown. We can see the Liberty Bank building with a small Statue of Liberty visible on its top and I believe the Rand building (to the right). Both buildings are still there. Just to the left of the elephants there is a sign on the building that says "Circus April 10-?." The second date is blocked. This is obviously where they are headed. It looks like we had some not too unusual late snow in Buffalo. View full size.

This is a view down Broadway from Pine St. The building on the left with the sign is the old Broadway Auditorium, now the Buffalo Public Works Department garage.

A history of the Broadway Auditorium as a hockey venue is here.
