2023 Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House Adventure

I had a lovely day out with my friend Lisa, yesterday…..we visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House in Buffalo, NY. The tour was very interesting and the house was wonderfully restored by the restoration partners. The house was built between 1903-1905 for the Darwin D. Martin family. The 1.5 acre complex includes the Martin House, the Barton House – built for Martin’s sister and her family (the first to be built on the site), the carriage house, the gardener’s cottage, a conservatory, and a pergola. We only toured the main house, pergola, and conservatory. The other buildings are included on the expanded tour.

While photos are not permitted inside the house, I was able to take several outside the house:

The following are shots from around the property and gardens:

We also stopped at two other Frank Lloyd Wright houses nearby this one. Unfortunately, both are private residences, so they are not open to the public for tours. But we snapped a couple photos from the street:

This one was very cute and impressive.

This one was much larger and didn’t look as welcoming from the street view.

At the end of the day, Lisa and I were joined by some other friends for dinner at the Black North Inn at Point Breeze.
