Today… is the birthday of Louise Blanchard Bethune (1856–1913) considered the first American woman to work as a professional architect. (Fun fact: she’s said to have bought the first woman's bicycle to go on sale in Buffalo.) She specialized in schools and industrial buildings; among her designs that are still standing is the Hotel Lafayette in Buffalo. Look at this beauty.
