The Carriage House: Home to the Museum Store
It's hard to believe that home was built in 1905. It's a testament to the architectural genius of FLLW and how far advanced and ahead of his time he was. That home if built today would look like a modern home.
She said it all......I'm convinced.
My new favorite FLW creation
most versions today are made of veneer
💔 "PromoSM"
This house has always been one of my favorites .
Great tours, but the recording volume is too low for me to hear.
The recording volume is too low, hard to hear even at max volume
Excelente!
Visited the Martin House & the Gardner’s Cottage (my favourite)…the art glass is spectacular..seen many of FLW’s designed homes..Graycliff a second time & Fallingwater…each one unique in it’s own way
It's hard to believe they were originally this difficult to make.
I have toured the Martin House & also the Boathouse in Buffalo & Greycliff…also Taliesin West & Fallingwater…all are great examples of FLW’s architecture…his prairie style is very appealing
So exciting to see this and the Martin House basement! Prayers.
I hope the foundation will, in the future, review any public art displayed next to the house with a more critical eye.
My first trip to the Darwin Martin House was in 1976. My second in 1980. I visited it for the third time in 2003. The house was a revelation even in its state of disrepair in the 1976. The progress in restoring it extraordinary. I need to visit it again to see the reconstructed pergola, conservatory, carriage house and mosaic covered fireplace.
We’re those two stained glass table lamps made by L.C. Tiffany NYC studios?
I made the trip in sept 22' and can't wait to see Buffalo again ! the first tour was the Martin house and then The Pierce arrow museum , then drive-by's of all the homes he designed in the area including "Graycliff" the next day. the falls should not be missed BUT it was the last visit for me due to the crowds. Buffalo is Beautiful !
Amazing craftsmanships!
His buildings were notorious for their leaking roofs, but they are beautiful compared to the designs of that era.
toooo fast slow it down
I was wondering if the wright furniture is original to the house or if it had to be recreated?
Of the approximately 55 pieces of original Wright-designed furniture pieces, we have approx 35 in our collection. We have recreated some of the pieces, and not all are on display to make it easier for visitors to move through the house. Also, some of the originals belong in museum and private collections.
My neighbor lived in the Barton house as a teenager in the 50's. She described the surrounding property as still there but abandoned and well on its way to being run down at the time. One of her sisters had a 'club house' in the basement of the Barton house and the 'big scary statue' in the conservatory.
The vertical opening between floors, combined with the opening transoms in the basement serve to move air through the house by natural convection.
Lou Kahn thought HE invented "Service and Served" spaces.
Hermosa obra. Que pena que el sonido no fuera mejor.
Fabulous!
I love it
This has always been one of my all time favorite Wright house. It is a shame it was ever allowed to get into a deteriorate stat.e in the first place. If I ever came to Buffalo it would be to see this house, the falls would be a distend second.
Time to plan a trip to Buffalo! We would love to welcome you.
That was to fast u need to focus more on the incredible details that Wright put in thus masterpiece of architecture
Have you done FLLW ORIGAMI CHAIR?
Hmm, I never knew there were volunteers that worked there. Are these people retired architects, tradesmen, etc? How does someone find information about volunteering? Thank you to the volunteers!
My apologies for the delay in responding. Our volunteers have a variety of skills and experience, so no need to have a specific background! We have close to 400 volunteers, and they serve in countless ways - some public facing and some behind-the-scenes. If you're interested, contact us at volunteer@martinhouse.org to get the conversation started. More info here > martinhouse.org/support/volunteer/
Thanks from Wright fans all over the world! We were lucky to be able to visit the Martin House and Graycliff a few years ago. Both so impressive. Greetings from Amsterdam.
Happy we were able to welcome you from so far away! Thanks for staying connected.
And your friends from Canada come too?!
Our friends from the north are ALWAYS welcome! We miss you all! Thanks for staying connected.
Thank you for offering this.
Awesome. ❤ ❤
Actual photos of the destruction of a Wright building = chilling.
The color photo of the building being demolished by the steam shovel is not part of the Wright original. The owner of the complex, Sebastian Tauriello (an architect no less!!!) sometime in the 1950s tore out the pergola, conservatory and garage. In its place he built several undistinguished apartment buildings to generate income to save the main house. After the Martin complex was taken over by the State, those interloping buildings were removed, making way for the rebuilding of the lost pergola, conservatory and garage. That demolition is the photo shown here. The pergola conservatory and garage we see today are in fact new construction.
@@michaeljarosz4062 Thanks for the correction!
Sounds like a great road trip. I’ve seen all of those places years ago but it would be fun to see them again. An office in Erie? Did Frank ever have an office in Erie?
The Hagen History Center in Erie, PA has just opened a new permanent exhibit which features Wright's San Francisco office. The architect use the office when he tended to Bay Area projects from 1951 until 1959.

Non profit organization insurance policy theft MAJOR FRAUD
Stolen Property & Campaign Fraud
Maybe me, but every Wright fire place I've ever seen looks like a nightmare to keep clean and more so due to their central location. That would be if you actually used it. I guess with Wrights clients it was the help that had to deal with it.
So hard to hear about it without hearing it! Would love to see an upload of a performance!
3D Printing each piece after the hard work has been done once? I actually don’t know if there are 3D printers that cut wood? I’d imagine there are. I’m behind the times. Just thinking as a non-skilled wood worker myself. Great work I envy anyone that is so good at creating from wood.
3D printers don’t actually cut wood, they use filament, whether plastic or metal, to build an object. It’s used as additive construction, not the subtractive construction he was describing. It works like an etch-a-sketch in that it moves in an X and Y plane and some variables in between to get curves. It shoots out the filament layer by layer, so it takes some time to construct something, depending on how complicated the shape is.
Commonly called a CNC by us less sophisticated types. But that would be cheating. For authenticity's sake it's gotta be done the hard way.
Did the 'Winged Victory' statue in the Martin House come from the Larkin building? I remember seeing one in the foyer on another video.
No. It was FLW's favorite statue which he had outside his own home in Oak Park. The behemoth at Jewett Pkwy was made in Boston, MA, first in plaster and then more recently it was recreated in resin.
@@luisnelizabethclay7881 He, thank you for that . I like this statue as I have a large 19th century marble one in my home.
Wow! That certainly wasn’t in Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision! Are there before and after pictures? I enjoy rewatching the PBS show Frank Lloyd Wright’s Buffalo. I don’t remember when it first aired but I was glad to see that it’s still available for viewing. Is that a sprinkler system I see with the orange fittings? It’s been a few years since my last visit so I can’t wait to come back.
We do have many photos taken during the different phases of restoration and will begin to share on our social media channels. And yes, there are sprinkler systems in the mechanical spaces of the lower level. Thanks for watching!
Thank you .
AWESOME! He was a master at his craft for sure!
Awesome Work!! think about making it with out the multi Router Imagine!
What state is this in?
We are located in Buffalo, NY.
It's in Derby, NY which is 10 miles SW of Buffalo.
I talked to an electrician that said he worked in the basement of the Martin House. This certainly doesn’t look like what he was explaining to me. He described a network of conduits. Is that under the floor? Is there yet another level under that level? It would be cool to see pictures of the restoration.
This video doesn't show the entire lower level. We are working on some new videos to show some of the mechanicals over the next few months so stay tuned!
It’s nice to see at least one house got a basement out of Frank Loyd Wright. He designed wonderful, beautiful things, but no basements and no garages are “no go “in my book. Sorry, Frank.
