Buffalo has changed a lot in the last century or so, and nowhere is that so clear as in photographs.

News Chief Photographer Derek Gee set out with a handful of photos from Buffalo News archives with the goal of recreating images taken years ago. Below are the results. Many things have changed; others have not. Either way, the comparisons are fascinating. Click on the slider to pan between the archival photo and its modern-day equivalent.

Many thanks to Buffalo Architecture and History and Western New York Heritage, whose websites were invaluable in the effort to figure out what photos from 100-plus years ago showed.
