St. Mary of the Angels Motherhouse Complex (Amherst, New York)

The St. Mary of the Angels Motherhouse Complex is a historic Roman Catholic convent in Amherst, New York, designed in 1928 by the architects Dietel and Wade, known for their work on Buffalo City Hall. Originally serving as the headquarters for the Sisters of St. Francis until 1998, the property was later repurposed for public park use and opened as a senior housing facility in 2004. It was recognized for its historical significance by being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers interested in architectural history and community development.
