Oldman Boiler Works, Fabricating Shop, 32 Illinois Street, Buffalo, Erie County, NY

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.
