After careful checking, and contrary to what Buffalo Architecture claims,[1] Amateis IS the author of the pediment. I was wrong. This is one of the beauties and joys of life. Carptrash (talk) 18:47, 17 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Carptrash — I think you may have had it right the first time. The Buffalo Architecture website repeatedly says that the south pediment was sculpted by Charles Niehaus. It also says that Edmond Amateis sculpted 11 relief panels around the building in 1929. Photos show 5 of these panels on the north side, and 3 on the east side. I presume the other 3 are on the west side. Photos from the 1901 Pan-American Exposition show a blank pediment, so WHEN Niehaus/whoever carved the south pediment is unclear. Just to confuse things more, if you scroll down on this page, Buffalo Architecture says Amateis did the pediment, the opposite of what's the rest of the site says. No sculptor for the south portico is mentioned in the National Register nomination form. So, where did you get your info? BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 02:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
