Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House
The Martin House, designed and built from 1903-05, is considered by Wright scholars to be a significant turning point in the evolution of the Prairie house concept. The estate is comprised of the main Martin House, pergola, conservatory, and carriage house, the Barton House, and a gardener’s cottage, totaling nearly 32,000 square feet. Wright called the Martin House his “opus,” and had its plans tacked above his drafting board for decades. The restoration and reconstruction of the estate, including a rehabilitated landscape, is the most ambitious restoration of Wright buildings to date. Today, Martin House stands as a compelling symbol of civic identity and cultural pride. It is a National Historic Landmark and a premier heritage destination within New York State’s network of historic sites. The Martin House Restoration Corporation is a New York not-for-profit corporation founded in 1992, led by an committed staff, active board of directors, and 350+ dedicted volunteers. The historic Martin House site is open for tours year round.
