Exploring Frank Lloyd Wright’s Buffalo: Iconic Architecture Tour

Описание: When you think of Buffalo, New York, chicken wings and the Buffalo Bills likely come to mind—but this city is also one of the most important places in the long career of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

In this video, we’ll explore Buffalo’s incredible collection of Wright-designed structures, from the iconic Darwin D. Martin House to hidden gems like the Walter V. Davidson House, the Blue Sky Mausoleum, and even the Fontana Boathouse.

Along the way, we’ll see how Louis Sullivan’s Guaranty Building inspired Wright, make a quick side visit to the Art Deco masterpiece of Buffalo City Hall (which is not Wright designed), and uncover the city’s role as a living museum of American architecture.

Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast, a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, or just curious about the gems Buffalo has on offer, besides it’s wings and NFL football team, then this tour is packed with history, design, and inspiration.
