Frank Lloyd Wright ArchiTour to Buffalo in September


Potential ArchiTourists! 

I am planning a Frank Lloyd Wright in Buffalo ArchiTour for September of this year.  If you're interesting in joining the group, please drop me an email (architours4u@gmail.com) in order to receive the detailed information.
 
As of now, the dates are tentatively Friday, September 13th – Sunday, September 15th.  We will leave the Buffalo airport by noon on Friday and will return to the airport by 4:00 p.m. on Sunday allowing you to fly in early Friday and return late Sunday. 

Buffalo has a rich architectural and cultural history and we will see as much of it as possible.  Here’s a list of buildings and sites we’ll see: 

·       Public parks and parkways designed by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux
·       The Arts and Crafts Guilds Roycroft Campus and the Roycroft Inn
·       Site of the Larkin Administration Building by Frank Lloyd Wright
·       The Louis Sullivan designed Guaranty Building
·       The Kleinhan Music Hall by Eliel and Eero Saarinen
·       Frank Lloyd Wright’s Darwin Martin House Complex
·       Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fontana Boathouse
·       Frank Lloyd Wright’s Graycliff Estate
·       Frank Lloyd Wright’s Blue Sky Mausoleum
·       Buffalo’s Art Deco buildings – the Lafayette Hotel, Buffalo City Hall and Buffalo Central Terminal
·       The Buffalo Transportation Pierce Arrow Museum with the Frank Lloyd Wright Filling Station
·       The new Gwathmey Seigel & Associates Architecture designed Burchfield Penney Art Center
·       Frank Lloyd Wright private residences, the Walter V. Davidson House and the William R. Heath House (hopefully exclusive interior visits)
·       Niagara Falls 

The visit to Niagara Falls will require crossing into Canada and, thus, a passport.  Please read the information at this site (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html) regarding entry and re-entry requirements.  This outing is optional for those who do not have a passport and do not want to acquire one. 

Hope you join our group for this wonderfully Wright trip!
