Pittsburgh's Post-Gazette Article by Patricia Lowry Discovers Western New York the Wright Restorations and the Roycroft Campus
Featured in the Sunday, November 19, 2006 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, is an article by Patricia Lowry who gives a detailed and interesting description of the over $35 million restoration of Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo. The story, while primarily about the relationship between Darwin D. Martin and Frank Lloyd Wright and the legacy in architectural gems, they together, left the Buffalo area, she points out that the Buffalo area is worth more than a visitor's quick trip. In addition to the Martin House in Buffalo, she recognizes other 'Wright Sites' worth touring, including the Martin's summer home, Graycliff in nearby Derby, designed in 1927, and the Blue Sky Mausoleum in Forest Lawn Cemetery built only recently though designed by Wright for the Martin Family.
No trip to the area is complete without experiencing East Aurora and the home of Elbert Hubbard, friend of both Dawin D. Martin and Frank Lloyd Wright. East Aurora, the home of the famous Roycrofters founded by Elbert Hubbard, now in the process of restoring the original campus making it a community of working artisans, "As if Elbert Hubbard had never left".
Patricia Lowry's suggestions, and ours, "If you go to Buffalo, NY":
The Roycroft Campus In East Aurora, 20 miles southeast of Buffalo, www.roycroftcampuscorporation.com Roycroft Inn and Restaurant www.roycroftinn.com
Graycliff in Derby, 20 miles from either Buffalo or East Aurora, www.graycliff.bfn.org
The Martin House in Buffalo, 20 miles from either of the above, www.darwinmartinhouse.org; Walking tours of Buffalo www.walkbuffalo.com; Walking, boat and neighborhood tours www.buffalo.tours; and essays and other information on Buffalo's architecture Campaign for Buffalo History,Architecture and Culture www.cfb.bfn.org
Don't make it "IF" you come to Buffalo, Derby and East Aurora, make it "WHEN" you come to East Aurora, Derby and Buffalo.
Good night
