That is the church. When I was there they had a huge exhibit about Frank Lloyd Wright. If it is Richardson, it was a very confusing display, because I did think to myself, "It doesn't seem like anything Wright would have done, and it seems too old."

Wonder why they had an exhibit on Wright. They could do a lovely exhibit on Richardson and the various designers and craftsmen who worked for him. He really made a concerted and thoughtful effort to go back to the Romanesque style, although it does have Victorian accretions.

More Richardson (he could get a little out of hand):

I find the Romanesque style a little bulky and lacking in height for my taste. Churches ought to look more or less like this:

St. Mary Magdalene, Clitheroe, Lancs. (mostly 15th c.)
