The Guaranty Building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prudential_(Guaranty)_Building
Really impressive in person. Thanks to BSD local law firm, Hodgson Russ, for renovating it when they moved offices.
Buffalo City Hall: http://www.buffaloah.com/a/niagSq/65/fac/fac.html
Ridiculous size and grandeur for the current state of the city, but it's a beautiful building. Free observation deck at the top, too. My grandpa worked there but I never visited his office. |

It was the biggest hotspot of copper mining in the post-Civil War era up until the early 1900's. In its heyday there were 30k+ people living there, now there are only about 700.
So you've got a number of awesome turn-of-the century buildings in this sparsely populated shitburg
The mining company headquarters (now the National Historical Park HQ):
A 1,200 seat opera house (!):

There is a lot of amazing old stuff in Michigan's UP. Nowadays it's one of the least populated places east of the Mississippi. But there used to be a lot more people (and money) floating around up there due to mining, logging, & auto fortunes.
Not too far away is this incredible estate that's been on the market for a few years now:

|
Date: January 23rd, 2019 12:03 AM Author: Arrogant titillating heaven Many of these places aren't that bad. With a lot of the copper stuff, they just drilled super-deep shafts and just went at the ore with pneumatic drills and whatnot. The ore there was remarkably pure (even fucking Native Americans had extracted copper from these sites) A lot of the activity there predated the chemically-oriented extraction methods
There are a few areas were tailings were depositing that are kinda fucked but it's not that bad all things considered |

Date: January 24th, 2019 7:25 PM Author: Arrogant titillating heaven The Foshay Tower is pretty cool, It's meant to be something of an homage to the Washington Monument.
However, I've always thought it was a bit of a mess at the street level. It was built on top of an existing two story building, and the tower is set back pretty far from the street:
