The first Buffalo <i>Sängerhalle</i> (Music Hall), occupying the southwest corner of Main and Edward Streets in Buffalo, New York. Designed in the French Renaissance style by architect August Esenwein, the building served as the home stage for the Buffalo <i>Sängerbund</i> (German singing society) and stood for only two years before being destroyed by fire in 1885. Its replacement, built on the same site, was remodeled into the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Teck_Theatre_(Buffalo,_New_York)" title="Category:Teck Theatre (Buffalo, New York)">Teck Theatre</a> which was demolished in 1992. The site is presently a vacant lot.
