Description
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 and ink, 1880. Drawing of the kitchen for the male wards.
A large architectural drawing sheet shows elevation views of a kitchen building for male wards. Two main elevations are presented, labeled north and south, depicting a low, rectangular structure with a hipped roof, chimneys, and evenly spaced arched windows and doors. The building features simple brickwork detailing and a small roof vent or cupola. On the right side, a partial sectional detail shows the roof structure and wall construction. The drawing is executed in fine linework on aged, slightly yellowed paper with faint stains and marks, and a number is printed in the upper corner.
