Construction photos of the Niagara Falls Public Library in Niagara Falls, New York, designed by Paul Rudolph in 1969. A survey in 2011 determined the building in need of repairs for foundation issues such as floor heaving. However, local economic conditions have made raising the funds to do the work difficult while the building remains open to the public.

Current photos of the Hook Guest House in Siesta Key, Florida designed by Paul Rudolph in 1952. In 1979 an addition was added to the home by Walter Maycomber.

The Lake Region Yacht and Country Club in Winter Haven, Florida - designed in 1960 by Paul Rudolph with Gene Leedy. The building is composed to two parallel two-story pavilions, each 128’-0” long by 21’-0” wide and 18’-0” high, standing within a peristyle of columns on 6’-8” centers. The structure was demolished in 2013.

The property at 19 Greentree Lane in Chester, New York has been relisted for sale again, and - once again - the marketing materials claim the home was designed by Paul Rudolph.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is. We encourage readers, journalists, and prospective buyers to treat the attribution with caution - and to remember the oldest rule in real estate (and in architectural history): buyer beware.
