I am probably mistaken but didn’t Henry Hobson Richardson design an armory in Detroit? I thought we may have discussed this way back but cannot remember or even find it. I thought that it burned in the early 20th century. I am well aware that most people usually say that he only did the Bagley Fountain. Seems odd that he didnt have more work in Detroit.

Richardson did design that armory. His eulogy contains a list of all of his designs. Take a look at what #47 says.....
