Drawing #43 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 workshop and bakery.

A large architectural drawing sheet presents a detailed floor plan labeled for a workshop and bakery. The layout forms an L-shaped arrangement, with multiple connected rectangular rooms outlined in red. Interior spaces are labeled, including areas such as a bakery, boiler room, and coal store, with fine annotations and measurements throughout. Lines extending from the main structure indicate connections to external elements or systems. 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.
