Résumé:

Over a quarter of a century, Frank Lloyd Wright showered the city of Buffalo with a series of remarkable designs. These houses, commercial buildings, and unbuilt projects, devised between 1903 and 1929, link the architect's early Prairie period to his magnificent reaction to Modernism, exemplified by Fallingwater and the Johnson Wax Building. To convey this story, author Jack Quinan introduces a cast of characters linked by their association with the Larkin Company, the client that first drew Wright to New York State. Frank Lloyd Wright's Buffalo Venture is the first exhaustive survey of Wright's Buffalo projects, expertly chronicling a little-known chapter in architectural history.
