For the number of years that I've lived in Buffalo, I have never consciously sought out Frank Lloyd Wright's
Darwin Martin house. Apparently when I first moved here it was in a state of decay, and any time after I just didn't make the side trip down Jewett Parkway, off of Parkside by the Buffalo Zoo. As a woman at work once informed me in a perfectly cultured voice, "That's Parkway, not Avenue", which is in a totally different part of the city.
Yesterday I meandered over that way in between various errands and shot a few pix when the hoards of people wandering around left an opening for a minute. An inside tour will wait for another day.
The glass enclosed visitor center is the
Eleanor and Wilson Greatbatch Pavilion, which was built via their generous donation.
Beautiful buildings!

You must have been sending psychic messages! It was just a couple days ago that I said to Dave "...you know... we haven't been back to the Darwin Martin house since they finished the renovation..."
