Guaranty Building Tour
Discover the artistry and innovation behind one of Buffalo’s greatest treasures: the Guaranty Building. Designed by Louis Sullivan, often called the “father of modern architecture,” this landmark stands as a living testament to the birth of the skyscraper and the philosophy that form should follow function.
On this guided tour, you’ll explore both the soaring exterior and the richly ornamented interior, uncovering the details that make this building a masterpiece of design. Learn how Sullivan’s vision blended engineering with art, why the Guaranty Building became a turning point in architectural history, and how its preservation continues to inspire conversations about heritage and progress.
EB Green Tour de Force
Ride through Buffalo’s streets and step back in time to trace the extraordinary legacy of architect E. B. Green.

This guided bike tour highlights both the iconic structures and the lesser-known works that reveal the breadth of his genius. Covering 10–12 miles at a comfortable, moderate pace, the journey is designed for riders of all levels. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry, endurance, and vision of the man who helped define Buffalo’s architectural identity.
