The Aldrich & Ray Building, on Niagara Street in Buffalo, New York, is unusual for being the subject of lawsuit between the building's owners and the New York State Department of Historic Preservation(?) and the National Park Service(?) regarding its eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. If listed, the building, under renovation now, would qualify for tax credits worth 40 percent of its renovation cost, totalling roughly $2 million.[1][2]
The property owner, Natale Development, has sued the NPS over its "arbitrary and capricious" decision to refuse listing.[1]
The four-story building was formerly occupied by Aldrich & Ray Manufacturing Company, a copper-products firm, but has been vacant for many years. It is being renovated to become The Dorian, a development including a clinic, offices, and residential apartments.[2]
The building was purchased by Natale, through an entity named 1485 Niagara LLC, for $599,000 in April 2022.[4]
