The Barrel Factory was built in 1903 in the historic Old First Ward of Buffalo, NY. Bordered by Hamburg, Republic (formerly Tecumseh), & Vandalia Streets, the huge, multi-level brick structure was home for many decades to Quaker City Cooperage Co., and later to several other local businesses. Known as "The Barrel Factory" to Old First Ward locals, the City of Buffalo granted private railroad rights along Tecumseh St. to the company in 1903, with the Erie Railroad connecting to the company tracks. The Barrel House is full of great food and history. Tara Bystran, co-owner of the Barrel Factory shares some the history of the Barrel Factory
