Substitute materials. Timber connectors. Use of wood in the construction of Army chapels is shown here, one of 570 similar structures erected since last fall. All of them were built with wood trusses like these or with glued laminated wood arches, saving many tons of structural steel for more strategic purposes. New methods for timber joints have made it possible to reduce the amount of material needed for trusses and other load-bearing members

Significance: The fabricating shop functions as an extension of the original 1907 boiler shop. The two sections represent changes in factory construction techniques over the first half of the 20th century, a period when Buffalo's importance as a manufacturing center and Great Lakes port reached its apex. The 1951 building houses two major pieces of shop equipment, a set of angle rolls and a hydraulic press.
