Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane ; Richardson, H. H. (Henry Hobson), 1838-1886 ; Emslie, Peter

Part of drawing #42 from H. H. Richardson's plans for the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane, as reproduced by Peter Emslie, the Asylum’s Supervising Architect (1877-1880) and Building Superintendent (1878-1880) in pencil, ink, and watercolor. Includes the washing room of the laundry, 1880

A faded architectural drawing shows a utility or service plan with a central rectangular structure connected by straight corridors or conduits extending vertically and horizontally. The layout is symmetrical, with faint outlines of additional rooms or tanks on both sides. Thin blue and red lines indicate piping, drainage, or structural elements, intersecting at the central block. The lower edge reveals part of a longer horizontal building wall with regularly spaced openings. The paper is heavily aged, showing large water stains, discoloration, fold lines, and worn edges.
