The Buffalo Heritage Carousel

This timber framed building was designed to be reminiscent of an eight-sided circus tent. It features a unique steel ring system and surrounds the historic DeAngelis Carousel in Buffalo, New York—a merging of old and new technology.

Part of the comprehensive Canalside revitalization project at the terminus of the Erie Canal, the building houses an extremely rare hand-carved 1924 menagerie carousel made in neighboring North Tonawanda. The structure features a solar array roof provided by Tesla that powers the carousel which serves as a focal point for the popular boardwalk area.
