Chase writes about the Buffalo Asylum:<\/p>\n
“I’ve recently re-located to Buffalo NY. My partner works at one of the many universities here, directly next door to the Buffalo Richardson Complex, formerly known as Buffalo’s Asylum for the Insane. I know it’s featured on your Morbid Sightseeing page, but I feel your links don’t do it justice. The architecture is gorgeous, and the complex is huge. When I say ‘huge’ I don’t mean most of a city block or anything like that. It’s like 6 blocks long. Here’s a link to some photos of the building<\/a> and a link to the Google Map<\/a> that shows the size of this thing. It’s almost as big as the university itself.<\/p>\n “Great news! I’ve recently heard that discussions are being held towards the possibility of turning this wonderful old pile into a conference center and hotel. I can’t think of a better place to spend a special Valentines Night or my next anniversary (whether it’s a hotel then or not!)<\/p>\n “There’s also a massive old cemetery nearby, it’s part of Delaware park. I find that amusing, since that’s generally how I view cemeteries, as big parks where there happen to be lots of nifty monuments to the dead.<\/p>\n “Drop by Buffalo if you get the chance, it’s not just hockey and those disgusting fried waste parts of chicken dipped in vinegary sauce, we’ve got dead things and decaying buildings, too!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chase writes about the Buffalo Asylum: “I’ve recently re-located to Buffalo NY.
