Martin House Complex : ウィキペディア英語版
Darwin D. Martin House

The Darwin D. Martin House Complex, also known as the Darwin Martin House National Historic Landmark, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built between 1903 and 1905. Located at 125 Jewett Parkway in Buffalo, New York, it is considered to be one of the most important projects from Wright's Prairie School era, and ranks along with The Guggenheim in New York City and Fallingwater in Pennsylvania among his greatest works.
Wright scholar Robert McCarter said of it:

"It can be argued that the Martin House Complex ... is the most important house design of the first half of Wright's career, matched only by Fallingwater over 30 years later."

==History==
The Martin House Complex was the home of Darwin D. Martin, a businessman, and his wife
Martin and his brother, William E. Martin, were co-owners of the E-Z Stove Polish Company based in Chicago.〔Edgar Tafel, ''Years with Frank Lloyd Wright: Apprentice to Genius'', p.83, Courier Dover Publications; 1985〕 In 1902 William commissioned Wright to build him a home in Oak Park, the resultant William E. Martin House built in 1903.〔 Upon viewing his brother's home Martin was significantly impressed to visit Wright's Studio, and persuaded Wright to view his property in Buffalo, where he planned to build two houses.〔
Martin was instrumental in selecting Wright as the architect for the Larkin Administration Building,〔 in downtown Buffalo, Wright's first major commercial project, in 1904. Martin was the secretary of the Larkin Soap Company and consequently Wright designed houses for other Larkin employees William R. Heath and Walter V. Davidson. Wright also designed the E-Z Stove Polish Company's Factory built in 1905.〔
Wright designed the complex as an integrated composition of connecting buildings, consisting of the primary building, the Martin House, a long pergola connecting with a conservatory, a carriage house-stable and a smaller residence, the Barton House, which shares the site and was built for George F. Barton and his wife Delta, Darwin Martin's sister. The complex also includes a gardener’s cottage, the last building completed.
Martin, disappointed with the small size of the conservatory, had a 60 ft (18m) long greenhouse constructed between the gardener's cottage and the carriage house, to supply flowers and plants for the buildings and grounds. This greenhouse was not designed by Wright, and Martin ignored Wright's offer "To put a little architecture on it".
Over the next twenty years a great long-term friendship grew between Wright and Martin, to the extent that the Martins provided financial assistance〔Robert M. Craig, ''Bernard Maybeck at Principia College'', p.478, Gibbs Smith; 2004〕 and other support〔Jack Quinan, ''Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House'', p.216, Princeton Architectural Press; 2004〕〔Caroline Knight, ''Frank Lloyd Wright'', p. 124, Parragon; 2004.〕 to Wright as his career unfolded.
Some twenty years later, in 1926, Wright designed the second major complex for the Martin family, Graycliff, a summer estate overlooking Lake Erie in nearby Derby, NY. The Blue-Sky Mausoleum Wright designed for the Martins in 1928, but never built, was finally installed at Buffalo's Forest Lawn Cemetery in 2004.
