#OnThisDay In 1959, Buffalo Wildroot Co. is bought by Colgate-Palmolive. Wildroot, founded in 1911, used to produce hair care goods. Following their sale, the factory at 1740 Bailey Avenue continued to produce for Colgate-Palmolive until 1961. It has been vacant since, falling into disrepair. In 2018, the former Wildroot factory became a City of Buffalo Historical landmark. Do you remember the Buffalo Wildroot Company? Have you ever driven past the vacant factory on Bailey?
