Citizens Advocating Memorial Perservation

Our CBCA team met with Citizens Advocating Memorial Preservation (CAMP) members and State Senator George Borrello to talk about plans for the Cattaraugus County former Memorial and Historical Building in Little Valley. The building has tremendous historical significance as the county’s most prominent and significant Civil War memorial. After saving the building from demolition in 2013, CAMP has led a number of initiatives to care for and preserve the building. CBCA is happy to be assisting CAMP with the planning and design for the building’s future, while also seeking local, county, and state support for the project. Learn more about CAMP below. 

Preserve New York

Continuing our work with our Preserve New York Grant awarded clients, our team visited the South Buffalo Lighthouse site. We are producing a Historic Structure Report of the Fog Signal Building part of the Lighthouse site. It will document the building’s historic development, current conditions, and plan for its future as a publicly accessed site that displays an exhibit on Buffalo’s Maritime history.
