Did you know the columns at Baird Point were once part of the façade of the Federal Reserve Bank in downtown Buffalo? When the bank was slated for demolition in 1959, UB music department founder Cameron Baird and civic-minded Air Force Major A. Burt Hamilton proposed acquiring the columns for UB. The idea was to incorporate them into an open-air Greek amphitheater on the South Campus. Instead, they were spruced up in 1978 and transported to their current home, standing sentry over Lake LaSalle. Photo: Chad Cooper
