Nestled in Buffalo’s historic Broadway-Fillmore district, the Saint John Kanty Church complex stands as a testament to the enduring spirit and heritage of Buffalo. Established in 1891 to serve the community, the church quickly became a cornerstone of spiritual and communal life in East Buffalo . This expansive property offers a rare opportunity with three distinct masonry structures situated on 1.59 acres in the heart of Buffalo. The site includes a stately one-story church encompassing approximately 15,337 square feet, a spacious three-story rectory with 9,579 square feet, and a versatile three-story convent offering 13,248 square feet. Together, the campus provides over 38,000 square feet of existing building space, with over 50 parking spots.
The Gothic Revival church, dedicated in November 1892, features stunning architectural details, including some original stained glass windows crafted by Buffalo Stained Glass Works. Over the years, the complex expanded to include a rectory, a three-level convent.
Now, this historic complex seeks visionary new owners to restore and reimagine its future. With potential eligibility for historic tax credits, energy retrofit grants, and other redevelopment programs, the possibilities are vast— uses include and are not limited to a community center, educational facility, or multitude of venues.
This remarkable historic church campus is ready for visionary new owners to lovingly restore and reimagine its future. Saint John Kanty has long stood as a beacon in the community, rich with architectural character and spiritual history.
