Buffalo Avenue School was at 805 E. Buffalo Avenue, which translates into 805 E. Dr Martin Luther King Blvd today. The City of Tampa renamed the street in 1989. The 1931/1951 Sanborn map (you can see these online with a Tampa-Hillsborough County library card) shows Buffalo Avenue School on the block bounded to the north by E. Buffalo Avenue, to the east by Mitchell Avenue, to the south by Selma Avenue, and to the west by Taliaffero Avenue. Today, this is the southeast corner at the intersection of Taliaffero and MLK. It's also right at the MLK exit off I-275. The school is no longer there. The block is now occupied by a Sweetbay grocery store. The Hillsborough County Property Appraiser's website gives a construction date of 1997 for the grocery store, but I don't know at the moment when the school closed. Was someone in your family a teacher or student at this school?

Not sure what you asking for as there is no longer a Buffalo Ave in Tampa. It was renamed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a loooooong time ago.
