The people of Buffalo have decided, and not without good reasons, that their favorite district is that called the Elmwood.” -- "The New Elmwood District," Greater Buffalo . (1902) “Nature and man seem to have worked harmoniously in the creation of what is known as Buffalo’s ‘Elmwood District.” -- “The New Elmwood District,” Commerce. (August, 1903) OVERVIEW The Elmwood Historic District is significant under Criterion A in the area of Community Planning and Development and C in the area of Architecture as an exceptional, highly intact residential neighborhood located in the City of Buffalo . Much of the district’s architecture and planning represents the first era of street-car suburbanization in Buffalo, which occurred during the golden age of industrial, economic and population growth following the Civil War. The district contains nearly 5,000 resources. For the purposes of managing the National Register listing process, the district has been divided along the commercial spine of Elmwood Avenue into the Elmwood Historic District (West) and the Elmwood Historic District (East). This nomination documents the Elmwood Historic District (East) portion of the district on the National Register, while providing a historic context for both. The Elmwood Historic District (West) was listed on the NY State and National Registers in 2012.
