Richardson Complex Update Update

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Somebody just pointed me to a Buffalo News article about the Buffalo State Hospital Kirkbride which describes in more detail than usual the proposed plans for the building: Hotel and Park Proposed for Richardson Complex.

I really hope a hotel goes in. I’ll make a trip out to Buffalo at least once a year if I can spend a few days living in that Kirkbride. Maybe I’d even start a little annual convention for Kirkbride enthusiasts.

And remember, there’s going to be a public meeting on Tuesday, January 27 in Rockwell Hall, Buffalo State College about these plans (for the hotel not my imaginary convention:). So if you live in the area, check it out.
