:: "Insight" is a pretty broad term.  I have visited most of his extant buildings [as of 1988 or so] and my favorite quote about him is something like 'He designed buildings that looked like him."  The Van Rensselaer book is the original source [1888] so start there.  If you want someone to write your paper for you - -well make an offer.  [Just kidding.  I would NEVER solicit work on wikipedia] Carptrash 01:05, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Henry Hobson Richardson's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "nhlsum":
From Emmanuel Episcopal Church (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania): 
From H. H. Richardson Complex: 
From Auditorium Building: 
From William Watts Sherman House:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Henry Hobson Richardson]] 

message: I just moved this - " * 1880 Witherbee Mansion - Port Henry, NY "- from the list of the Great Man's commissions to talk about.  It is not mentioned in either VanRensselaer or Ochsner, the two classic Richardson references, and doing a quick Google search only brought up this  www.alisonvcraigrealty.com/res6.htm site.  Which says nothing about Richardson. Any ideas/  other than to keep it off?  Carptrash (talk) 23:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  * 1880 [[Witherbee Mansion]] - Port Henry, NY 

message: I suggest removing two images that show buildings not by H.H. Richardson:  1) the Wellesley B&A Station, a work by Richardson's successors Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge dating from 1888;  2) the Lucius Tuckerman mansion, Washington DC.   Since this is an article about H.H. Richardson, it would seem best if only Richardson's own buildings are illustrated here.  Perhaps these non-Richardson images could be moved to the Romanesque Revival page. Sullivanesque (talk) 21:25, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a Richardsonian Romanesque article, too, but it already has more than enough pictures. I'd just remove the images. - Eureka Lott 21:41, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggest Removing Images of Non-Richardson Buildings 

message: I removed (from the List of Works) the Wellesley B&A Station and the Alston B&A Station, both of which were by Richardson's successors, Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge.  I also removed the Lucius Tuckerman Mansion in Washington DC since it is not a Richardson building.Chesterct (talk) 02:44, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of Non-Richardson Buildings from List of Extant Works 

message: I removed the Unity Church, Springfield MA, from the list since it is not "extant."  The list could be changed to a complete list of works and demolished buildings could be added back in.Chesterct (talk) 02:44, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of Demolished Buildings from List of Extant Works 

message: The text on the Howard aka Taylor Library Building in New Orleans read "The office of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge used a Richardson design which had been submitted and rejected some years earlier. This leads some, particularly those in New Orleans, to argue that this library is an original Richardson design." This wording seemed rather confusing to me. It seems to say that 1) the design was by Richardson 2) some people argue the design is by Richardson, but this is debatable (for some reasons not specified).  I have attempted to clarify and expand the description.  Infrogmation (talk) 18:56, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that there used to be an editor around who literally "wrote the book on Richardson."  Or at least one of the books on him.  Perhaps he will show up and clarify this sticky wicket for us.  I will search out my copy of his book when I get home. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 23:25, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Howard Library Building

message: We all know that Richardson designed many of the Boston and Albany Railroad stations, but since B&A became a subsidiary of the New York Central Railroad, and the NYC Harlem Line connected to the B&A at Chatham Union Station, is it possible he may have also designed some stations along the Harlem Line? Or did he at least influence the design of the stations? Check this link out(http://world.nycsubway.org/perl/show?61715), as well as this description;
One of three Henry Hudon(sic)Richardson-designed station buildings at consecutive stations from Chappaqua to Bedford Hills, identical except for building materials used.
Aside from the misspelling of his middle name, is there any credibility to this statement? ----DanTD (talk) 03:34, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
