Mini-rabbit hole of the day: H.H. Richardson and Richardson Auditorium

While looking up something else, I came across a photo of the Billings Memorial Library at UVM that noted it was designed by H.H. Richardson.  It looked so much like Richardson Auditorium at Alexander Hall I wondered if they related.  It turns out Alexander Hall was designed by William Appleton Potter, in imitation of Richardson's style, and while the hall was donated by the Alexander family, it was extensively renovated by a gift from David Richardson '66 (seemingly no relation to H.H.).
