The Nott Memorial is featured in a book released by the Landmark Society of Western New York, titled “Historic New York: Architectural Journeys in the Empire State.”
The lavishly illustrated 220-page book showcases New York’s many architectural treasures as well as the benefits of historic renovation. Photographer Andy Olenick and author Richard O. Reisem volunteered five years of their time to researching and photographing historic buildings throughout New York.
The book is divided into 11 regions and covers four centuries of New York architecture, including early Dutch architecture, the Adirondack style, Georgian country mansion and other styles.The 16-sided Nott, built in 1872, is an example of High Victorian Gothic design.
Mini-histories of each site embellish the photographs, and all of the landmarks featured are open to the public.
The Landmark Society of Western New York is one of the country’s oldest and most respected historic preservation organizations.
