![]() ![]() Judy Tucker Brochure entry for the 2016 Explore Buffalo Tour of Homes “The footprint for each condo is exactly the same as when it was built - although people have made changes to their units over the years. I tried to look up W. L. Schmolle on-line and I think he moved to California to continue his career.He did design homes on Ashland and Bidwell.” – Barbara Peterson, 2023 |
