Buffalo Residents Team Up to Buy Old Train Station a $3,000 Gift

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, one historic building might be getting a piece of its old self back as a gift from locals.

After spotting a $9,000 light fixture that once belonged to the Buffalo Central Terminal, neighborhood booster Christopher Byrd helped organize an online fundraiser to bring it back to its original home. This weekend, the effort reached its goal. "After I posted a link to it on Facebook, a lot of readers said they’d chip in $100 or $10 so I emailed them and said ‘let’s try to do this then,'" Byrd says.
