Drawing #41 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 wards and a connecting corridor.

A large architectural drawing sheet presents a floor plan labeled for a kitchen and connecting corridor. The main structure appears as a compact rectangular layout with interior partitions and rooms outlined in red, accompanied by detailed annotations and measurements. Extending from the lower portion of the building is a curved corridor that connects to another smaller structure, also partially shown in plan view. Fine construction lines and notes indicate structural elements and layout details. The drawing is rendered in precise linework on aged, slightly yellowed paper with faint stains and marks, and a number appears in the upper corner.
