  • A photograph of the Tri-Main Center by Andre Carrotflower. The Tri-Main Center, 2495 Main Street at Rodney Avenue, Buffalo, New York, June 2020. Constructed in 1915, the building is a textbook example of the Daylight Factory style of industrial architecture pioneered in the early 20th century by Albert Kahn, where large windows bathed the production floors in natural light thus improving the health and morale of the workers. Originally a Ford assembly plant, the complex was sold to the Trico Corporation after the Second World War and became the second of the three windshield wiper factories operated by that company in Buffalo (the others were located on Goodell and Elk Streets respectively). Trico closed the plant in 1987; it's now a mixed-use complex housing offices, studios, and light industrial facilities.
