Buffalo New York - The Terrace at Delaware Park - Hoyt Lake - Marcy Casino Building - Exposition

One of the many prominent features in the park is the Marcy Casino Building, built for the 1901 fair. The building underwent an extensive restoration in 1990, refurbishing the original features of the 1901 design by architect E.B. Green. The Casino remains a popular place for holding events and gatherings. The original boat house was designed by Olmsted's partner, Calvert Vaux. Construction was completed in 1875, but the boat house was destroyed by a fire in 1900.

In 1875, the Delaware Park Casino was a community-gathering place and it featured a restaurant. The opening of The Terrace marks the first time in over a decade, this facility will be open to the public on a regular basis with this innovative partnership contributing to the building’s upkeep and the Olmsted park system.167
