In June 1979, The Buffalo News started a weekly feature every Sunday, on the Neighborhood Page, known as Area Landmarks, celebrating Western New York's rich architectural history.

Artist Lawrence D. McIntyre (1920-2007) translated these architectural sights into pen and ink drawings which depict landmarks that are familiar to residents who are proud of and love Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier.

All of the images are black and white prints of original pen and ink drawings. Each print measures 18" x 24" and is ready for framing; however a mat is suggested.

Each print is numbered from 1/500 to 500/500 and initialed by the artist. (Some of the later editions to the original series are in smaller quantity.) These lithographs were first introduced in the 1970s and, as a limited first edition, many of the lower numbers have been sold.

Price: $100 each.
