| Martin House Estate Tour - Buffalo, NY |
The original five buildings of the Martin House estate totaled 29,080 square feet. This breaks down as follows:
Darwin D. Martin House: 14,978 sq. ft.
Pergola: 1,540 sq. ft.
Conservatory: 2,655 sq. ft.
Carriage House / Stable: 5,507 sq. ft.
George Barton House: 4,400 sq. ft.
Additional buildings added to the Martin estate after 1907:
Gardener’s cottage: 1,668 sq. ft.
Greatbatch Pavilion: 7,775 sq. ft.
The Martin House is a prime example of a Prairie house, a revolutionary design developed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the first decade of the 20th century. The Prairie house style is characterized by rectilinear, horizontally-oriented structures linked by crossing axes and "woven" into their site. The buildings on the Martin House estate were designed in this fashion, allowing clear, linear vistas throughout the various buildings and surrounding landscape.Other characteristics of the Prairie House style include:
- low, hip roofs with broadly cantilevered eaves
- prominent foundations that anchor the house to the site
- horizontal emphasis in masonry, sills, copings, and garden walls
- horizontal bands of windows (usually with art glass)
- intentionally concealed entrances and sheltered spaces
- "organic" application of materials
- cruciform floor plans
