The Richardson-Bates House Museum is a historic home located at Oswego in Oswego County, New York. It is constructed primarily of brick and built in two stages. The main section is a 2+1⁄2-story, Tuscan Villa style brick residence with a gable roof and 4-story tower designed by architect Andrew Jackson Warner about 1867. The interior features carved woodwork by Louis Lavonier. The South wing addition included a private library, formal dining room and kitchen that was completed in 1889.[2]
The house and its contents were donated to the Oswego Historical Society in 1947.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
