Description
First called the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane when opened in 1880, the majestic brown sandstone and red brick buildings are known in architectural history books as the Buffalo State Hospital buildings. More recently they are included as part of the campus of the Buffalo Psychiatric Center. The architect for the buildings was Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886). Richardson is generally regarded by architectural historians as the first of the three greatest American architects. The other two are Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Part of the main building has been renovated and is now the Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center.
