Darwin D. Martin Gardener’s Cottage,
Buffalo, New York, 2024 (1905 - S.090). Set of 31 images of
the Darwin D. Martin Gardener's Cottage, photographed on October 10,
2024. On a trip to Buffalo, we had the opportunity to visit
and photograph the Martin Complex in Buffalo and Graycliff,
the summer home of Isabel & Darwin Martin in Derby, New
York, approximately 30 minutes away. Designed by Frank Lloyd
Wright in 1904, the Martin Complex consisted of the
Residence, Pergola, Conservatory and Carriage House (1904),
the Gardener’s Cottage (1905) and the George Barton
Residence (1903). In 1927, twenty-three years after, Frank
Lloyd Wright designed a smaller complex, the Isabel & Darwin
Martin Summer Residence, Graycliff (S.225-226).
Often overshadowed by the Martin House, the Gardener's
Cottage doesn’t get much attention. Completed in 1908, this
cottage stands out with its unique design and smaller scale.
It has a modified four-square layout and is finished with
stucco and wood trim, adding a charming touch to the estate.
The Gardener's Cottage is an excellent example of Frank Lloyd
Wright's Prairie style. Wright made the most of the narrow
space by placing the entrances on the sides, creating a
welcoming living room. He used vertical elements and window
boxes to blend the garden with the interior, making the most
of the limited street frontage and budget. The nearly square
design, full of intricate details, makes the cottage feel
bright and open, |
|
with large windows letting in plenty of natural
light.
In 1987,
Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer wrote: “This house, adjacent to the
Martin property in Buffalo, served for the gardener and his
family. It is a compact plan, with living, dining and
kitchen on the first floor, three bedrooms above. The
materials are wood frame and stucco. The treatment of the
corners is similar to that of the Ladies' Home Journal
Fireproof house; a long vertical panel, formed by wood
strips, lends a stylish accent to an otherwise very simple
dwelling.” Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph 1902-1906, 1987.
October 10 was a beautiful, sunny fall day, perfect for
capturing the Martin House and Gardener’s Cottage. The
Martin House Restoration Corporation has meticulously
restored these buildings to their original splendor,
showcasing Frank Lloyd Wright’s remarkable genius. Today,
the complex is expertly maintained, making it an
awe-inspiring place to visit. We have assembled a set of 31
images of the Darwin D. Martin Gardener’s Cottage, photographed by Douglas M.
Steiner on October 10, 2024. These photographs aim to
capture and preserve a moment in time, documenting the
intricate details that contribute to the overall design and
reflecting the current condition of the home. To expedite
their addition to our website, we have chosen to omit
individual descriptions for each image. Original 23 X 15
