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

·

·
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!
