The Richardson Towers were designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1986 by the U.S government. This, as well as the fact that it was one of the greatest architectural structures Buffalo, NY has to offer, gives great appeal to many urban explorers. You can find photos taken by people who have broke into this mammoth of a complex all over flickr and photo bucket. These towers give off an eerie and intriguing vibe to my neighborhood, the Elmwood Village, and I love them. They were designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, hence the name Richardson Towers, and the landscape was designed by everyones favorite, and my boi, Frederick Law Olmsted. I am moving further away from the towers in the fall, and it makes me sad that after all of these years I have yet to illegally trespass these great towers, So, with that being said, who wants to break into them with me!?
