This photograph was taken about an hour after sunrise on a hot summer business day. The city was bustling in the nearby areas, yet here, things were still moving slowly. The rising sun was making its way over the roofs of the buildings to the east gradually lighting more of the top floors, putting the lighting pattern on the building as the time of day signature.

Dun Building, architected by Green & Wicks, attempted to apply neoclassicist horizontal architecture style to a tall building, not without problems, including structural given the hight and narrowness of the building. The internal steel frame is supported by exterior load-bearing walls. It was completed in 1895.

On June 10, 2013 The Buffalo News reported the sale of this building. Paul Kolkmeyer and partners have purchased the building from Michael Joseph’s Clover Management.

It had a few firsts in Buffalo: The first high-rise in Buffalo, the first steel-framed, and the first fire-proof building. Despite that, at 130 feet tall it does not even make the Wikipedia list of Buffalo's tallest buildings.
