SHOOT THE CHUTES -On the 1893 Sanborn maps two corners of a park
are shown, one is Main& E. Delavan with Scajaquada Creek
cutting it off and northeast of that it is labeled "BUFFALO
ATHLETIC FIELDS" with the outline of a track and sizable
grandstand connected to a "GATE" on Main St approximately
500' from the corner.
50'
north of that is a rectangular area named "SHOOT THE CHUTES"
with an approximately 30x60' building or area marked "IRON
CLAD" which would be the type of building material, I have
to assume. On the key sheet Driving Park is simply named "Fair
Grounds" and not covered in detail within. As the Sanborns
were fire insurance related they often ignored unbuilt areas,
sometimes just leaving them entirely blank as if there was nothing
there at all. Two other buildings off Delevan approximately 400'
from Main St. are shown, both labeled "TRAINING QUARTERS."
In the section which shows the corner of E. Delevan and Jefferson
is another building about 100' east of the other two which is
not labeled.
