Project adds to transformation of revitalized waterfront & reflects ship-building history of site
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday announced the completion of construction on the $5.1 million Longshed building on the northern end of the Central Wharf at Canalside in Buffalo. The two-story, gabled-roof wood structure reflects the Central Wharf site’s history by incorporating elements from the Joy and Webster Storehouse located on the site in the early 1800s. The approximately 4,400-square-foot Longshed includes a main floor that stretches the length of the building, a smaller mezzanine level, public bathrooms, roll-up entry doors, and an exterior porch that overlooks the Canalside lawn.
