193 Elk Church

193 Elk Church

Our latest Gurney Featured Home is 193 Elk Street, and it’s not your standard home. In fact, it’s a church that’s on the National Register of Historic Places! There are several apartments within the church and rectory, but the true beauty of this place is in the jaw-dropping architectural details.

193 Elk is over 20,000 square feet, sits on 1.8 acres of land, and is full of serious potential. This Gothic Revival Church and Rectory was build in 1888 and is currently being used for multiple different purposes, including some extremely hip AirBnb rentals.

The rectory includes four 1 bedroom apartments, five full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and seven additional rooms/offices. The church itself comes with City approved drawings and plans that allow it to be converted into a event/entertainment space.


Incredible Details Everywhere You Look

This church is full of character and architectural treasures. That includes this incredible working organ.


The organ, designed by Garrett House, is actually older than the building itself, has its own historical designation, and is in working order. The massive stained glass windows are all intact and well preserved.

The grounds themselves are currently used as a garden and outdoor meeting type space. There are several vacant lots surrounding the church, which are included in the sale, that offer plenty of room for parking and event an additional building.

If you’re interested, you can become the new owner of this Buffalo Home. The historical designation of the church qualifies the building for both State & Federal tax credits.
