Overview

This "Jewel on the Lake" was the summer home for the folks who lived in the Darwin D. Martin House in the early part of the 20th century and is one of a half-dozen designed in the Buffalo area by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Its location is spectacular, south of Buffalo on a 70-foot cliff overhanging Lake Erie. The house is architecturally significant because it marks a transition period between Wright's earlier Prairie Style and his concrete designs. Tours generally last 1 hour and 15 minutes. Keep in mind that Graycliff tours are not appropriate for children under 10 years and that reservations are required.
