Did you know: Western New York is home to an incredibly diverse range of historic architecture. 

In case you’re not a history buff, allow us to introduce you to the famous Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House. Located in a cozy corner of Buffalo’s Parkside neighborhood, the Martin House tops the list of must-see architectural sites in the Buffalo area. 

Not only is it a National Historic Landmark that recently underwent a full restoration, but it’s also regarded as one of the most impressive residential commissions of Frank Lloyd Wright’s entire career. That’s why every year, visitors from all over the world come to explore the Martin House and learn about its extensive, storied past. 

If you’ve never stepped foot on the beautiful Martin House grounds before, you’re in luck— now is a perfect time to visit. Read on to find out why:

1. Off-Season Perks

The first reason why the next few weeks are an ideal time to visit the Martin House is because overall, the grounds are quieter and less busy during the winter months. 

Spring and summer brings warmer weather to Western New York, which means more tourists and tour groups will be out and about. We highly recommend booking a tour of the Martin House during February or March if you’re local to Buffalo and want to avoid the crowds that come with tourist season.

2. 50% Off Tours For Erie County Residents During March

In case you missed it, the Martin House recently announced the installation of seven reproduction Tree of Life art glass windows in the reception room of the house. 

The new windows have joined two others previously recreated for the space, and together they create a breathtaking ribbon of art glass to welcome guests as Wright originally intended. These windows are an absolutely beautiful new addition to the house that cannot be missed!
