Summary

Description
English: Renovation Church, 567 Hertel Avenue at St. Florian Street, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Modernist in style, this boxy edifice is the work of architect Joseph E. Fronczak, who imbued its exterior with stained-glass windows and colorful reliefs in vertical rows on the tower and above the entrance; inside were once a set of stained-glass windows depicting popular Polish-born saints. The building was erected in 1964 as the permanent home of St. Florian Roman Catholic Church, the second chronologically and smaller of the two that served the Polish-American enclave in Northwest Buffalo, the city's second-largest in population; it was founded in 1917, served a population that had been attracted to this northern portion of the enclave by available jobs in World War I-related industries such as the Curtiss airplane factory on Elmwood Avenue, and had heretofore worshiped in a combination church and school building designed by architect Władysław Zawadzki that was always meant to be temporary, but which remained in use much longer than anticipated thanks to an unexpected slowing in the population growth of the parish. St. Florian's was the last new Roman Catholic church to be built in Buffalo until the construction of St, Martin de Porres in 2000. The complex is now home to the nondenominational Renovation Church, who purchased it in 2008.
