Buffalo Architecture and History

Chuck LaChiusa's wonderful guide to the architecture and history of Buffalo, NY, also happens to host an impressive illustrated furniture glossary.

The architecture section is also fascinating, containing a huge database of buildings browsable by name, address, and architect.
