1. The Grange Building Marker
The Hamburg Grange Building was built in 1892 by John H. Salisbury (1856 - 1935), a dealer of farm implements, Postmaster, Fire Chief, and leader of the Peoples' Bank and the Erie County Agricultural Society. William H. Froehley's furniture and undertaking business occupied the first two floors and the Pamona Chapter of the Hamburg Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry No. 1293 met on the third floor in an attractive theater setting from 1913 until 1974. This building has an elaborate pressed metal facade with many decorative features including a frieze with a fleur-de-lis motif, Corinthian pilasters and a cornice supported by Italianate brackets.
