Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this house is one of the top attractions in Buffalo. Built in 1904 for the Martins, this is considered the best of Wright’s Prairie House era designs. The house is open to the public for tours.

he multi-structure estate (1903-05) that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Darwin D. Martin is a masterpiece of 20th century architecture. The Martin House is widely considered one of Wright‚s finest Prairie Houses ‚ a signature work from the early years of his celebrated career. Wright himself referred to the Martin House complex as ‚the opus‚ and kept the site plan pinned to his drawing table for close to fifty years.

Today the Martin House Restoration Corporation is bringing the Martin House complex back to its former magnificence in the most ambitious restoration of a Frank Lloyd Wright site ever undertaken. Three of the original elements ‚ the pergola, conservatory and carriage house, which were demolished decades ago, are rebuilt in the first-ever reconstruction of Wright buildings. The historic site is operated as a house museum and will remain open for tours throughout the restoration. ‚ From time to time a specific tour space in the Martin House may be unavailable due to ongoing restoration. An alternate space will be made available.
