Central Terminal: Saving a Buffalo Landmark - May 3

A film with an Historic Preservation theme will be screened Saturday,
May 3, 4pm at the Broad Street Bank, 143 E State Street, Trenton as
part of the 5th Annual Trenton Film Festival. Screening will be
followed by a panel discussion moderated by John Hatch, President
Preservation NJ.

"Central Terminal: Saving a Buffalo Landmark" explores the storied
past of the beloved train station in Buffalo, New York. Built on the
cusp of the Great Depression, the Central Terminal was a hub of
activity. As train travel waned in the 1970s, it was shuttered and
for twenty years it suffered from neglect and abuse by private
owners. In 1997, local preservationists acquired the building, which
had been stripped of its grandeur and was in desperate need of
repair. This documentary highlights the building's architectural and
social significance and recent efforts to bring it back to life
against all odds! "Central Terminal: Saving a Buffalo Landmark" was
produced by Kirsten Jahn and Scott Richardson, digital media arts
students working under the guidance of Barbara Irwin, Ph.D., director
of the Canisius College Video Institute (29 min. Directed by Barbara
Irwin.).
