How Buffalo turned architectural heritage into an engine for reinvention

Visitors can marvel at architectural gems, see ace adaptive reuse, and drink beer brewed inside a grain silo During a visit to Buffalo, New York, last week, I was told that it was the easternmost Midwestern city. Which, based on a tour of its architecture and historic buildings, seemed like an accurate description. It?s blessed by masterpieces from some of the biggest names in American architecture?on display in large-scale photos at the airport, just to remind tourists of the treasures that await?including masterworks by Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Henry Hobson Richardson.
But more importantly, through clever development, generous historic tax credits, and small-scale, private urban planing, the city has, like other cities in the center of the country, turned its architectural heritage into an engine for reinvention. Buffalo?s past has always been present; in many neighborhoods, its hard not to trip over a gorgeous old home or commercial building. But now, it?s seen as the future, a tool to help turn the city into an even-better place to live and a great place for architectural tourism.
?It?s a city built on design and architecture,? says Mary Roberts, the executive director of the Martin House Complex, the city?s Frank Lloyd Wright gem. ?And we continue to build great new buildings.?

Curbed?s architecture critic, Alexandra Lange, wrote of how the city?s amazing architecture has also become a canvas for creating something new. We went back to see how some of the city?s architectural gems have fared or been re-imagined as Buffalo continues to redevelop. It?s becoming an even more enjoyable stop for tourists of all stripes, especially those who appreciate architecture and design (and should be even easier to navigate now that ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft are finally coming to town for the first time).

Darwin Martin House: Wright?s vision, without limits

?A well-nigh perfect composition.? Even for an architect as vocally proud of his own designs as Frank Lloyd Wright, his Darwin Martin house stands out in his body of work. Designed in 1903 for a Buffalo businessman who was, at the time, the highest-paid executive in corporate America, this multi-building estate is as stunning as its reputation suggests. When it opened, a local paper supposedly described it as a home designed by Jules Verne.
Stunning glasswork, including more than 400 art glass windows, is everywhere, Japanese artwork (a Wright ?suggestion?) lines the walls, and a unique walkway and indoor garden are jaw-droppingly beautiful. The Martins made money no object, and Wright took full advantage, seeing this as the commission that might make his name. The highlight color, found amid the paint and plaster, is gold, and even something as seemingly pedestrian as the gutters were intricate and aesthetically perfect; in order to maintai...
