Symphony Circle
On November 1, 2002, friends and neighbors celebrated the return of the lights at Ferry Circle and Symphony Circle in the City of Buffalo.
Although part of Frederick Law Olmsted's original parkway design, the circles were removed in 1938. In an amazing public-private collaboration, the circles have been re-born and the 5-light ornamental standard as its crowning glory was restored.
Frederick Law Olmsted designed America's first park and parkway system in 1868 for Buffalo New York.
Symphony Circle, his first "sylvan hub," designed in 1874, was followed by Ferry Circle in the 1890's. In 2002, we celebrated this Corridor of Light with the restoration of the center islands at Symphony and Ferry Circles.
