Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House Complex

 

One of the things you should not miss when you visit Buffalo is Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural masterpieces. Wright is known for advocating organic architecture, which is characterized by s structure's harmony with humanity and nature, and for advancing the Prairie School movement, which is an architectural philosophy that is marked by horizontal lines, hipped or flat roofs with broad overhanging eaves, windows that are grouped in horizontal bands, and a structure's integration with the landscape.

 

One of the best residential works of this architectural genius is the Martin House Complex, which is a very unique complex composed of the main house, the smaller Barton House, a glass-roofed conservatory that is connected to the main house by a hundred-foot pergola, a carriage house with stables and the chauffeur's quarters, and a gardener's cottage. The complex is now a National Historic Landmark.

 

Visitors can arrange for tours exploring the buildings and their surrounding landscape as well as of the furnishing that were also designed by Wright. You can also see a large art glass collection. Tours explore the buildings, surrounding landscape, and an extensive collection of art glass and furnishings, all designed by Wright, which together form a totally integrated architectural masterwork. Custom Coach and Limo welcomes you to this National Historic Landmark.
