Built in 1868, this Second Empire-style mansion was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson for William Dorsheimer, a prominent local lawyer and former Lieutenant Governor of New York, which paved the way for Richardson’s winning bid to design the Buffalo State Hospital, which was completed two years later, and established his signature “Richardsonian Romanesque” style. The house features a mansard roof with gabled dormers, bracketed eaves, red brick exterior divided by bands of limestone into distinctive panels, replacement windows, stone panels at the spandrels between the first and second story‹›
