Fillmore District: New Dreams and High Hopes

The Fillmore District – centered around Fillmore Avenue between Best Street and Delavan Avenue — is another hub of activity on the city’s East Side. Long anchored by Martin Luther King, Jr. Park and its colossal wading pool/skating rink and the Buffalo History Museum, the neighborhood is being reinvigorated by new developments like the Northland Workforce Training Center and attractions such as the Albright-Knox Northland, a satellite space of the museum’s Elmwood campus, and the installation of massive murals like Shantell Martin’s, “Dance Everyday,” at 537 East Delavan Avenue.
