Description: Nardin Academy, 135 Cleveland Avenue, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Founded in 1857 as the first tuition-free Catholic school in Buffalo, Nardin has from the start been operated by the Catholic order of the Daughters of the Heart of Mary (the head of whose local chapter, Ernestine Nardin, is its namesake). It was at first officially known as St. Mary's Academy and Industrial Female School of Buffalo and bounced around a number of different locations in what's now downtown Buffalo before moving to its current campus in 1890. The building seen here dates to 1914, a castlelike English Gothic Revival design whose entrance is flanked by a pair of octagonal towers topped with crenellated parapets and with quatrefoil reliefs decorating the spandrels between the windows. Notable alumni of Nardin include novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, screenwriter and television producer Diane English, and New York Times editor and columnist Margaret Sullivan.
