Delavan Avenue was an Erie Railroad passenger station in Buffalo, NY on the Erie’s Niagara Falls Branch.
This map shows the station on the north side of Delavan Avenue but a 1917 Sanborn fire insurance map shows an abandoned railroad station on the west side of the tracks south of the street.
The former right-of-way of the Erie Railroad and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad between Kensington Avenue and Delavan Avenue is now the William L. Gaiter Parkway. It built in the 1990s as the Northeast Parkway and was later named to recognize civil rights leader William L. Gaiter.
