Artist's Description
In doing research for this photo I found the oldest map that had this location labeled was a 1849 map. At that time this area was part of the Buffalo Creek Indian Reservation and was called Wheelbarrow Point. It is located on Buffalo River just south of the downtown in the old first and thirteenth wards. The area to the left was/is Red Jacket Point. http://www.archivaria.com/GdDhistory/Buffalo1849.jpg
In the center you see Concrete Central grain elevator. Concrete Central was built between 1915 and 1917 at the height of World War I. Due to its being the largest grain elevator in the world and concerns about German sabotage, Concrete Central's method of construction was top secret. The facility was utilized for grain storage until 1966. Concrete Central stretches along the Buffalo River for almost a quarter of a mile and was the largest transfer elevator in the world at the time of its completion in 1917. It is also the largest elevator ever built in the Buffalo area.
About Chris Bordeleau
I am a photographer located in Western New York with 20 years experience. I got my start with my Grandfather's Minolta x-700 while at Boston University working in B&W film. Hours in the darkroom have been replaced with hours behind the computer screen after I made the switch to digital about ten years ago. This has given me the ability to more accurately portray the scene as I remember it. I predominately shoot nature, landscape and urban/cityscape photography, freezing a moment in time that will never happen again. Taking the time to capture these moments is one of the great pleasures in my life. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed creating them. Outside of photography I rise my two daughters, Madeleine & Nicole...
