Begun in 1878, St. Ann’s is one of Buffalo’s finest neo-gothic interiors.  It houses one of Buffalo’s most stunning collections of Munich stained glass windows arranged in three thematic cycles, exquisite woodcarvings, and one of Buffalo’s finest peals of bells.  Today it is home to a largely African-American congregation.
