Not at all correct experiment test only Completed works

The table below includes all the completed structures and commemorative works of H.H. Richardson, extant or demolished, as determined by Jeffrey Karl Ochsner in the paperback edition (updated from the hardback) of H. H. Richardson: Complete Architectural Works (MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts 1982, ISBN 978-0-262-65015-1). Except for the studio he added to his Brookline house, it does not include remodeling or alterations, even though a few of them (such as the ********) were somewhat substantial. It also does not include any unbuilt projects.

Church of the Unity	Springfield 209 State Street	Massachusetts	1866-69	This Ruskinian Gothic Revival church of mostly English inspiration was finished in random ashlar stone, its asymmetrical composition topped with an octagonal broach spire on its tower. Richardson's first commission at age 28 provided the funds to enable him to marry the patient Julia Gorham Hayden after an eight-year engagement. Demolished in 1961 (O'Gorman says 1960).
Western Railroad Offices	Springfield 236 Main Street	Massachusetts	1867-69	Richardson's first effort at a commercial building displayed evidence of his French training: this three-story office building had a mansard roof attic with detailing from Rome and Florence. The Western Railroad merged with two others to become the Boston and Albany Railroad, for which Richardson would design several train station buildings. Demolished in 1926.

Grace Episcopal Church	Medford 160 High Street	Massachusetts	1867-1869	Similar to Church of the Unity, but the exterior is Richardson's first use of glacial boulders and "anticipates the distinctive coherence" of Trinity Church. This commission introduced Richardson to the Brooks family, whose cousin Phillips Brooks would be made rector of Trinity in 1869. Numerous alterations to the church in 1882, 1883, 1957, 1962, and the 1970s mean that only the original pulpit and the exterior from the north appear as Richardson designed.
Benjamin W. Crowninshield House	Boston 164 Marlborough Street	Massachusetts	1868-1870	G&R A three-story red brick house topped with a fourth in a mansard roof, his first residential commission "has been universally condemned as among Richardson's least successful designs."
H. H. Richardson House	Clifton, Staten Island 45 McClean Avenue	New York	1868-1869	G&R A stick style house with a steep mansard roof, Henry, Julia, and their young family lived here until they moved to Brookline, Massachusetts in 1874 when Richardson needed to more closely oversee Trinity Church. Now offices for physicians and covered in white stucco, the effect of the original exterior has been "completely lost."	no image?
Alexander Dallas Bache Monument	Washington Congressional Cemetery 1801 E Street SE	DC	1868-1869	G&R A commemorative monument of granite and marble erected over the grave of Alexander Dallas Bache (1806-1867), superintendent of the United States coast survey. This was Richardson's first collaboration with Frederick Law Olmsted. A contributing monument to a National Historic Landmark.
William E. Dorsheimer House	Buffalo 438 Delaware Avenue	New York	1868-1871	G&R Another mansard roof and other details inspired by the hôtels particulier (grand townhouses) Richardson saw in Paris, this house introduces the L-plan he would use to great effect later. More important was his working with William Dorsheimer, an influential Buffalo politician who would steer later commissions his way. Now "somewhat mutilated".
Jonathan Sturges House & Frederick Sturges House	New York 38-40 Park Avenue	New York	1869-1870	G&R Built together, these two townhouses had a single mansard roof and exteriors of brick and brownstone. Demolished in 1954.
Agawam National Bank	Springfield 233 Main Street	Massachusetts	1869-1870	G&R Across the street from the Western Railroad Offices and from the same client, this second commercial building included less French and more English details. Demolished prior to 1935.
Worcester High School	Worcester Maple Street at Walnut Street	Massachusetts	1869-1871	G&R An excellent plan under yet another mansard roof, the high school had an early, less successful version of the tower that Richardson would soon design for the Buffalo New York State Asylum. This commission is perhaps most important as the first use by Richardson of the Norcross Brothers as general contractors, on whom he would rely heavily during his remaining years. Demolished in 1966.

Brattle Square Church (now First Baptist Church)	Boston Commonwealth Avenue at Clarendon Street	Massachusetts	1869-1873	G&R This T-shaped church with a 176-foot tower "reveals Richardson to be moving away from English Gothic... models toward his remarkable design for Trinity Church." The congregation was already struggling, but Richardson's cost over-runs and terrible accoustics contributed to its demise. The Baptists purchased the building in 1882.
New York State Asylum	Buffalo 400 Forest Avenue	New York	1869-1880 (1895)	G&R Now a National Historic Landmark.
Hampden County Courthouse	Springfield 37 Elm Street	Massachusetts	1871-1874	G&R Modeled in part on the Palazzo Vecchio and William Burges' losing entry for the English Law Courts competition of 1867, Richardson's design "marks another step along his new path" moving toward "the breadth and quietude of his later work." The building underwent "severe alterations" in 1908-1912, including a new wing and drastic changes to Richardson's roofline.
North Congregational Church	Springfield *** address ??? ***	Massachusetts	1871	G&R Built of quarry-faced red Longmeadow sandstone in random ashlar, in designing this cruciform church with its low Norman tower "Richardson decisively turned away from the Gothic style toward adaptation of the round-arched Romanesque." Sold in 1935 to the Baptists.
Phoenix Fire Insurance Company Building	Hartford 64 Pearl Street	Connecticut	1872-1873	G&R A three-story, polychromatic office building using red, yellow, and black bricks, Hitchcock finds it to be a step backward in Richardson's search for a solution to the commercial building. Demolished in 1957.	BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB
F.W. Andrews House	Newport Maple Avenue, Coddington Point	Rhode Island	1872-1873	G&R Vincent Scully points to this house for Frank William Andrews "as pivotal in the transition from stick style to shingle style" in "the evolution of American wood domestic architecture in the 1870s and 1880s". The exterior was mostly stick style, but Richardson introduced key elements of what would later be named the shingle style, including an emphasis on the surface with clapboards below and shingles above. Destroyed by fire in 1920 (one source says 1921).	BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB
Trinity Church	Boston Copley Square	Massachusetts	1872-1877	G&R Richardson's early masterpiece established his national reputation. Now a National Historic Landmark.
American Merchants Union Express Company Building (later American Express)	Chicago 21 West Monroe Street	Illinois	1872, 1874-1880	G&R Yet another attempt by Richardson to design in the fashionable Second Empire style, this building "demonstrates how awkwardly he worked in the French mansardic form that was then preeminent for commmercial buildings, in contrast to his newly formulated Romanesque." Destroyed by fire in 1930.	BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB
Benjamin F. Bowles House	Springfield School Street at Union Street	Massachusetts	1873-1874	G&R Demolished in 1926.School Street at Union Street	BBFile:image PIPE 150pxBB
William Watts Sherman House	Newport 2 Shepard Avenue	Rhode Island	1874-1876	G&R some info here
Hayden Building	Boston 681-683 Washington Street	Massachusetts	1875-1876	G&R Abandoning his unsuccessful attempts at Second Empire commercial buildings and discarding direct reference to any prototypes, this is Richardson's true "beginning of his search for... a suitable expression of American urban commerce." In his design, Richardson employed "remarkably subtle experiments" with his rhythmic arrangements of windows both vertically and horizontally that would ultimately lead to his masterpiece in the Marshall Field Wholesale Store.
R. and F. Cheney Building	Hartford 942 Main Street	Connecticut	1875-1876	G&R Following up on the Hayden Building and moving toward the later wholesale stores for F.L Ames and Marshall Field, here Richardson used rich polychromy and ornamentation in line with Trinity Church, then simultaneously under construction. Dividing the facades into three horizontal zones by belt courses and window variations, Richardson achieved an advance in geometric integration, and yet "the Cheney facade visually disintegrates" and "is the work of a designer who has not yet achieved a clarity of purpose." Even so Cheney is "one of the very finest buildings in the world dating the the mid-seventies."
New York State Capitol	Albany State Street	New York	1875-1899 ???? **** ????	G&R In collaboration with Leopold Eidlitz, built upon a ground floor designed by dismissed architect Thomas Fuller (architect). The capitol was ultimately completed by Isaac G. Perry. Now a National Historic Landmark.

Ames Monument	Albany County 3 mi (4.8 km) northwest of Sherman	Wyoming	1879-1882	"Considered by many to be one of the architect's greatest works... [representing] a fusion of arthictecture with landscape", it honors the Ames brothers (Oakes and Oliver Jr.). It was built next to the Union Pacific Railroad they helped finance amidst charges of impropriety, but the railroad has moved and the nearby towns have vanished, leaving the monument somewhat isolated.

Demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Massachusetts Turnpike.
Austin Hall	Cambridge Harvard University	Massachusetts	1881-1884	An off-balance stair tower in an otherwise symmetrical building and "violent" polychromy, "confuse the direct structural expressiveness" of this first building for Harvard Law School, negating the greater budget compared to Sever Hall of a year earlier. Floyd terms it "problematic", O'Gorman calls it "rather lifeless", yet despite his reservations, Hitchcock pronounces it "one of Richardson's greatest works."
