Happy Birthday, Henry Hobson Richardson

Victorian architect Henry Hobson Richardson was born on September 29, 1838. Richardson is known for designing stone buildings with Roman arches and round turrets. His namesake style, Richardsonian Romanesque, was used mostly for large public buildings like the Allegheny County Courthouse, but some private homes were also built in the imposing Romanesque style.
