Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The former William E. Mosher Health Center, 899 Main Street at Carlton Street, Buffalo, New York, December 2020. Built in 1993 and named after the longtime Erie County Commissioner of Health who was instrumental in the founding of the health maintenance organization originally known as HealthCarePlan, the Mosher Health Center is a relatively late example of Postmodern architecture, with Classical-inspired features such as a main entrance (which faces the parking lot off Washington Street) crowned by a stylized pediment and framed by a pair of concrete pillars, and a distinctive alternation of horizontal concrete bands with brick. The presence of a stubby, tent-roofed octagonal turret at the building's northwest corner, at far right by the perspective of this photo, exemplifies Postmodernism's predilection for mix-and-match eclecticism. Though it was one of the first new purpose-built facilities in what would eventually be known as the Buffalo Niagara Medical Corridor, the building's operational lifespan was short indeed: HealthCarePlan's successor organization, Lifetime Health, pulled out of the Buffalo market at the end of 2017, and the building has been vacant since. |
