American Hotel, 1850

If you happen to be turning the corner at the tastefully designed white and red building at 110 Franklin Street one day take pause to place your hand one of its bricks. Each brick is a touchstone leading back to 1833, making it one of the oldest buildings in Buffalo. It’s not just a link to a time when the Erie Canal was attracting business from both the East and West, its the sole surviving architectural work by one of Buffalo’s most powerful men- Benjamin Rathbun - who came from modest background and built himself a city. Steadily approaching 200 years old, 110 Franklin Street was built as the First Unitarian Church and was only one of many buildings constructed by Rathbun, who designed and built over 100 stores, houses, churches, and hotels.

While a beautiful building the First Unitarian Church paled in comparison to the domed American Hotel, located not far from the church. Yet in 1836, the same year that the American Hotel opened was also when Rathbun was imprisoned for committing forgery and overborrowing. Rathbun was forced to listen to the hotel’s grand opening from the cell of the very prison he built. A reconstruction of the American Hotel can be seen on the amazing Raymond Massey’s Benjamin Rathbun’s Buffalo video at 11:11.

A brand issue of the Postal Constituent ships to subscribers tomorrow. This full sized, four-paged newspaper features the squally tale of a Buffalo legend. Watch Rathbun single handedly build Buffalo, buy Niagara Falls, forge bank notes and end up in prison!
