Precast concrete
The Buffalo City Court Building is named "Frank A. Sedita City Court" (for Buffalo mayor Frank A. Sedita), and designed by "Pfohl, Roberts and Biggie". It is a 10-story court house built in 1974 and located in Niagara Square and adjacent to Buffalo City Hall. The structure is a classic example of Brutalist architecture; its façade is dominated by large Precast concrete panels with narrow windows. The design was conceived with limited windows in order to keep the courtrooms and judges' chambers free from outside distraction.
