About
After building his spectacular Martin House in Buffalo, New York, Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to construct a summer cottage for Darwin Martin’s wife, Isabelle.
Located in Derby, NY along the shores of Lake Erie, the home sprawls over eight acres complete with three structures, a pond, and a tennis court. This prairie house was completed in 1926. Martin died in 1935 and subsequently, the home became Isabelle's primary residence. The home is filled with signatures of Wright's architecture, with special little nuances anywhere visitors look.
