About the Martin House
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House, designed and built from 1903-05, is considered by Wright scholars to be a significant turning point in the evolution of Wright’s Prairie house concept. The estate consists of the main Martin House, pergola, conservatory and carriage house, the Barton House, and the Gardener’s Cottage, totaling nearly 32,000 square feet. Wright called the Martin House his “opus” and had its plans tacked above his drafting board for decades. Restoration of the three residences and reconstruction of the pergola, conservatory, and carriage house make the Martin House estate the most ambitious restoration of existing and demolished Wright buildings to date. The historic Martin House site offers public tours, school programs, community events, event rentals, and a retail store. More information about this National Historic Landmark can be found at martinhouse.org.
