MARTIN HOUSE

BUFFALO, NY

Martin House is a historic residence located in Buffalo, New York. It was designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright and was built between 1903 and 1905. The house was commissioned by Darwin D. Martin, an executive at the Larkin Soap Company.

The Martin House is considered one of Wright's greatest works and is a prime example of the Prairie School architectural style. The house features a low-pitched roof, overhanging eaves, and horizontal lines that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The interior of the house is equally impressive, with unique features such as intricate stained glass windows, custom-designed furniture, and a central fireplace that serves as the focal point of the living room.

In addition to the main house, the Martin estate also includes a conservatory, a carriage house, a pergola, and a gardener's cottage. The estate was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986 and underwent extensive restoration work in the early 2000s.

Today, the Martin House is open to the public for tours and events. Visitors can explore the main house, conservatory, and other buildings on the estate, as well as learn about Wright's life and work. The Martin House is a must-see destination for architecture enthusiasts and anyone interested in American history and culture.
