The Boston Globe has a Travel feature in which Buffalo’s architectural “saves” are spelled out for readers. The Hotel @ The Lafayette, The Darwin Martin House, and the Richardson-Olmsted Complex all make waves in the write-up that showcases Buffalo’s masterpieces in an inspiring “underdog” piece. Visit Buffalo Niagara hosted Boston Globe writer Steve Jermanok last summer. You can read the write-up here. Following is a snippet from the article:
Inside, a broad communal hallway is bordered by a row of small rooms. In the $75 million redesign, this part of the building will be converted into a boutique hotel, set to open in 2015. Other sections of the property will be used as architectural and conference centers. A parking lot in the front of the towers will be relocated, so that the original front lawn designed by Olmsted will reopen to the public next spring. – Jermanok describes the Richardson-Olmsted Complex
