Two very simple bollards protecting a fence on Irving Place. These are large steel pipes with concrete poured into them to make sure if you hit them they won't budge.

Happy Veterans Day





 This statue is dedicated to the Army, Navy, and Marines for service in the war with Spain, the Philippine Insurrection, and the China Relief Expedition. The statue is called The Hiker and was unveiled at a military parade held in Buffalo to honor the soldiers of the Spanish-American War. Happy Veterans Day to all who have served. It is made of Bronze and has a granite base, dedicated 5/29/1920

This is almost an exact replica of a bollard I posted about earlier on Bidwell Pkwy. This is from 1938, the other post was from 1950 so I guess the other post was a replica of this one. Well anyway both were on corners set back so I am guessing they are property line posts and not bollards in a true sense. This is on the corner of Lexington and Richmond.

Who hasn't seen these yet? A cool bollard outside of the Target Store on Delaware. The store In Amherst had quite a few of these. I don't go shopping much at these stores but it was a worthwhile trip just to snap a photo.

Here is another old fire hydrant I spotted further down on Niagara Street. It seems for some reason these old buildings that faced the Erie Canal still have these hydrants in place with the newer hydrants installed along the curb at the street.

I thought I would feature another gate today. This one is a very modern gate that was built a few years ago. Very ornate wrought iron and some recessed lighting under the canopy. This is on Rumsey Road.

Here are a lot of bollards. These protect the the Blue Cross building on Fourth St. They are a pretty simple design with slots for the lighting to come through for the side walks around the building.
