SHARING CARROTS WITH GRANDMA


VISITING THE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HOUSES

Here in Buffalo there is a Darwin Martin Complex. It consists of 3 houses and a garage with an apartment above it. Darwin Martin was a wealthy man that hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design his home. Frank Lloyd Wright used unique design such as long bricks, no rain gutters, garden areas, walkways, etc. Darwin Martin later lost all of his money in the stock market. After he died his wife tried to sell the house, but couldn't so it sat vacant for 17 years. It is currently being renovated to remove asbestos and bring it back to it's original design.

Barton Home
Darwin Martin had Frank Lloyd Wright build this home first to see if he liked his designs.
He later had his sister and her family live there.

Gardner's House
This house was smaller but had a really cool open design.

Grandma got stuck in town because of the snow. She had to stay an extra day, but we had to go to Erie for Josh to take his Boards so we left her alone for her extended night and she had to get a cab to take her to the airport. We felt bad, but we couldn't change his boards.
