English: Madinah Masjid, 198 Greene Street at Moreland Street, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. The building is boxy and faced in brick, and other than the Gothic pointed arches in the raised portico and the stepped parapet above the façade facing Green Street, is of no special architectural distinction. Its initial owner was Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1898 as the second Catholic parish in the Lovejoy neighborhood, which was predominantly a German enclave but also contained a sizable Irish minority who felt uncomfortable worshiping among the already established congregation of St. Agnes. For the first year of the parish's existence, Mass was held in an apartment above a furniture store; the combination church/school building seen here was erected in 1899. Originally four stories in height including the basement, deferred building maintenance led to structural decay, which in turn led the upper-floor auditorium to be removed from the building in 1937 for safety reasons. After years of declining population both within the parish itself as well as of Catholics in the diocese overall, Visitation was merged in 2007 with St. Agnes and St. Francis of Assisi parishes to form the new St. Katharine Drexel church, which meets in the latter's former home on North Ogden Street. In 2009, the International Sangha Bhiksu Buddhist Association purchased the former Visitation and St. Agnes churches with the intention of using them as a temple/monastery and a convent, respectively, but sold the former Visitation in 2017 without ever having occupied the building. The building is currently slated to be the future home of Madinah Masjid, Lovejoy's first mosque.
