Summary

Description
English: Greater Faith Bible Tabernacle, 375 Edison Avenue, Buffalo, New York, June 2020. An austere and frankly rather unattractive buff brick building in a Modernist style, the church sports some detailing that appears to hint at the Gothic Revival, namely decorative buttresses framing the front entrance and intercalated between pairs of windows on the side elevations, and a trio of narrow windows above the front gable in seeming imitation of Gothic-style lancet windows, albeit without the pointed arches atop. The building was originally home to Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church, a congregation founded in 1946 and set up to serve the residents of the new Langfield Homes, a public housing project that was erected in the 1940s on some of the last remaining vacant land in the city and intended as housing for workers in World War II-related industries and, later, for returning veterans and their families. The church building seen here was dedicated in 1947, and the school building next door followed in 1950. A rather short-lived parish by diocesan standards, the decline of Immaculate Heart of Mary began in the last quarter of the 20th century; by 2006, three years before the parish's merger with neighboring St. Aloysius Gonzaga in Cheektowaga as part of the final phase of the diocese's "Journey in Faith and Grace" consolidation program, the parish population had dwindled to only 160 families. The building's current occupant, an African-American Pentecostal church, has owned the property since 2010.
