While I would regularly enjoy venturing into Buffalo to take pictures, my car is currently broken. I am trying to rely on pictures of local structure even though i cant get out there...
The structure is surrounded by ionic columns and the shape of the roofs on the center and side sections are similar to that of the Parthenon. The Building also features grecian sculptures in front of the side structures (although they seem to be obscured by a tree). 
This structure also features columns and a similarly shaped roof, but also distinctive decoration on the tympanum. 
a really obvious example of classic style architecture can be found at Buffalo's Albright Knox Art Gallery.

A not so obvious comparison can be made of Buffalo State's Rockwell Hall.
While this building features the ionic columns and decoration of other classically styled buildings, its body is made of brick and it has a tower. The combination of these different styles indicates that while classic style architecture often comes back it is also combined with different styles to make a whole different hybrid style of architecture!
An even crazier hybrid is the Buffalo City Hall, i think the source of inspiration is essentially:

Some sort of Art Deco Classic combo?
please note: Buffalo's City Hall is the tallest City Hall in the United States! (check out the video above)
