Broadway Auditorium is a former multipurpose arena in Buffalo, New York. It was part of a complex that first opened as Broadway Arsenal in 1858 to accommodate the 65th and 74th Regiments of the New York National Guard. The facility was expanded in 1884 with the addition of a drill hall and administration building to become the Sixty-Fifth Regiment Armory. The armory was decommissioned in 1907, and the City of Buffalo opened the vacant drill hall as Broadway Auditorium in 1913.

Broadway Auditorium was home to the Buffalo Majors (AHA), Buffalo Bowmans (IPLL), Canisius Golden Griffins (NCAA) and Buffalo Bisons (NBL). It hosted notable events including the Six Days of Buffalo (1910–1940), NBA Tournament (1911), ABC National Tournament (1914, 1921, 1925 and 1931), NYSPHSAA Basketball Championship (1927), and the World Championship Series (1931–1939). Jimmy Slattery fought at the venue 73 times in his Hall of Fame boxing career, highlighted by his 1930 win over Lou Scozza to become NYSAC Light Heavyweight Champion.

After closing in 1940, the complex was used as barracks for the 712th Military Police Battalion during World War II. The former auditorium began serving as public works storage facility Broadway Garage (known colloquially as Broadway Barns) after the arsenal was demolished in 1948. Following renovations slated to begin in 2024, the building will reopen as a sports complex.

History

Planning and construction

Broadway Arsenal was designed by architect Calvin N. Otis and constructed in 1858. The $45,000 facility was funded by New York State to accommodate the 65th and 74th Regiments of the New York National Guard.[3] The Niagaras of Buffalo, a baseball team playing in the National Association of Base Ball Players, began using the arsenal grounds as a practice field in 1865.[4] The 74th Regiment moved to Virginia Street Armory in 1868.[5]

New York State funded the facility's conversion to the Sixty-Fifth Regiment Armory in 1884, adding a drill hall and administration building at a cost of $25,025.75.[6] Major George J. Metzker of the 65th Regiment designed and oversaw construction of both the drill hall and administration building. President-elect Grover Cleveland dedicated the new drill hall during a ceremony on January 13, 1885.[7]

The armory was decommissioned on February 1, 1907, when the 65th Regiment moved to newly built Masten Avenue Armory.[8][9]

Opening and reception

The City of Buffalo acquired the former armory in 1908 and began using the drill hall for public gatherings. Buffalo Common Council had rejected a proposal to reopen the facility as Technical High School in favor of using it as a convention hall.[10] The city formally opened the drill hall portion of the complex as Broadway Auditorium on May 19, 1913. Dedication festivities lasted several days, and included a speech by New York Governor William Sulzer and concert performance by tenor Charles Morati.[11]

A soft opening had commenced in 1912 while the building underwent $64,000 in renovations, which included the addition of a lighted marquee, bleacher seating, and a stage that could accommodate big band orchestras.[12] Robert J. Reidpath designed the building's new roof, which added clerestory windows for lighting and ventilation. William F. Felton, who had constructed many of the buildings for the Pan-American Exposition, completed the masonry work.[13]

Alterations

Harry Smith

The venue was host to the Six Days of Buffalo series of six-day racing events between 1910 and 1940.[14] Champions of the event included future United States Bicycling Hall of Fame members Reggie McNamara (1915) and Cecil Yates (1939 and 1940). Future Canada's Sports Hall of Fame members Doug Peden and William Peden teamed to win the event in 1937.

The building was home to the Buffalo Majors of the American Hockey Association in 1931. The team featured future Hockey Hall of Fame member Moose Goheen, and would move to Peace Bridge Arena the following season.[15]

The venue was home to the Buffalo Bowmans of the Indoor Professional Lacrosse League in 1932. The Bowmans were the first box lacrosse team in the United States, and featured future Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame member Harry Smith. Smith would later find fame as an actor, using the stage name Jay Silverheels.[16]

Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee Ross Powless recounted during a speech how Smith acquired the nickname "Silverheels" while playing for the Buffalo Bowmans:

Judy "Punch" Garlow told me how Harry got the name Silverheels. One time the boys won new white lacrosse shoes for playing good and Harry ran so fast in them new white shoes, all you could see was flashes of white at his heels. I guess they couldn't very well call him Whiteheels, him being Mohawk and all, so they called him Silverheels.[17]

Renovations were carried out by the Works Progress Administration in 1936 to make the venue more suitable as a convention hall. The $115,000 project included the installation of gallery seating, and a wooden floor that could accommodate basketball.[12]

The Canisius Golden Griffins men's basketball team of the NCAA called the venue home from 1936 to 1939.[18]

The venue was home to the Buffalo Bisons of the National Basketball League for the 1937–1938 season. The team featured future Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member Al Cervi.[19]

Closing

Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor

In 1940, the venue was rendered obsolete by the newly built Buffalo Memorial Auditorium.

The vacant complex was recommissioned in support of World War II as barracks for the 712th Military Police Battalion.[20][21] This came after a 1941 proposal for converting the auditorium to Defense Homes Corporation housing for Semet-Solvay Company workers was rejected by Republican politicians and local business leaders, as the housing would not have maintained racial segregation.[22]

An accidental fire heavily damaged the original arsenal building on August 30, 1948, while it was undergoing renovations.[23] The arsenal was then demolished so that garage doors could be added to the auditorium for accommodation of public works vehicles.[12] The only surviving feature of the arsenal remains its original concrete portal that connected it to the rear of the auditorium.[24] Architecture that made up the exterior of the auditorium, including its original façade, was encapsulated behind yellow colored brick as part of the $1,400,000 project. The building was renamed Broadway Garage in 1948 when the City of Buffalo began using it for public works storage.

Reopening

Competing interests often discussed either demolishing or restoring the facility.[25] The building was nearly condemned by the New York State Department of Labor in 2001.[26] In 2022, the City of Buffalo placed the 5.3 acre property out to bid for private redevelopment.[27]

It was announced in 2023 that the former auditorium would be renovated into a year-round sports complex, with a cultural center and affordable housing constructed on the former arsenal grounds.[28]

The former auditorium is recognized as the world's oldest surviving structure that has hosted professional ice hockey, and has been targeted for historic preservation.[29] Preservation Buffalo Niagara has a pending application with the City of Buffalo for the site to be declared a local landmark within the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor.[30] Nearby landmarks in the Willert Park neighborhood including the Colored Musicians Club, Michigan Street Baptist Church and Rev. J. Edward Nash Sr. House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[31]
