There are a lot of tours you can take but this deep dive photography tour led by Emily is unique because it is slow-paced, photography focused and we get into spaces that most tours don’t go into. You do not have to be a professional photographer, either. We don’t want to alarm you but due to ongoing construction, it is VERY unlikely these will ever be offered again after this Summer.

Preservation Buffalo Niagara’s tour program offers unique and informative ways to enjoy the historical, cultural, and architectural treasures of the Buffalo-Niagara region. Our tours support the mission of PBN, the region’s only professionally staffed preservation organization.
The 2024 photography tour schedule of the Richardson Complex is here!
Join us and the Richardson Olmsted Campus for an exclusive opportunity to capture the interior spaces of the iconic Richardson Olmsted Campus, a National Historic Landmark.
Photographers will be paired with an experienced docent to guide them through a collection of spaces in various states of renovation and disrepair. Your guide can also provide context on the history and future of the Richardson Olmsted Campus as you explore the site.
Photography Tours are $125 (includes access for the photographer and one assistant). Ages 16 & up. Funds from this effort support both PBN & the Richardson Olmsted Campus.

WHAT TO EXPECT
- All attendees are required to sign a release in acknowledgement of the safety concerns. Please bring your pre-signed release(s) to allow more time for the tour.

- This tour requires the ability to walk for the full duration of the tour as well as climb multiple flights of stairs.
- Meet at the Lipsey Architecture Center, ground level of the Towers Building on the northside of the campus.
WHAT TO BRING
- For your safety, sturdy, closed-toe shoes are required. We reserve the right to turn away anyone without appropriate shoes. Under no condition will sandals or high heels be allowed.
- You are strongly encouraged to wear layers and bring bottled water as the temperatures inside the buildings can vary widely.
- Prepare to get a little dusty during your time on-site. If you’re concerned about having an adverse reaction to the dust because of asthma or allergies, we recommend bringing a face mask or scarf.
