Title A name given to the resource Smith Real Estate Exchange Building (NE corner Webster and Tremont) Description An account of the resource At six stories, it was the tallest building on Webster.  Brief history from Tonawanda News, February 19, 1938: <blockquote>The building was erected in 1892 [another late source claims 1896] by George P. Smith and was known as the Smith building for a number of years. When the Riviera theater and other new buildings were erected in the block, bounded by Tremont, Webster and Main streets the Smith Building was taken over by the present owners and subsequently converted into small apartments. Originally the building had ten apartments and offices on the Webster street side of the building with the exception of the first floor, which was occupied by stores and other business places. There are approximately 30 apartments in the present building.</blockquote> Later known as Plaza Apartments when it burns February 18, 1938. In May the NEWS reports the owner considered razing top three floors, then decides to raze it all.  Postcard A pictorial representation of a place or entity, intended to be written upon and mailed.
