This is one of the great landmarks in Buffalo or anywhere else in the USA. This is Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece mansion - gawk and marvel at it and then look at the beautiful Victorian homes that surround it - remarkably the Martin House was built during the same era. The two worlds seems hundreds of years apart -- Frank Lloyd Wright is a revolution! His vision comes out of no where- there's no through-line to the past. It's pure genius! And architecture and product design is still influenced by this once Buffalo native. A stay in Buffalo promises one of natures greatest treasures, Niagara Falls but it also has the man-made equivalent, The Martin House.
