It was designed by American architect superstar Henry Hobson Richardson, and had to compete against four or five other cities all bidding to host an asylum in Western NY. Buffalo won the bid because we promised an unlimited supply of free water to the facility. Today, what was once a therapeutic home for the mentally ill is one of our citiy’s premier brunch and wedding destinations."
