  • Larkin Historic District Appendix A
    1 Appendix A – Architectural, Historical, and Cultural Significance Larkin Historic District I. Introduction The buildings, streets, and railroads associated with the Larkin Co. constitute a nationally significant cultural landscape. Their character, materials, craftsmanship, design, scale, mass, and relationship to each other and the surrounding city render them valuable to the city, state, and nation. They also stand as the embodiment of the vision, ideals, and drive of singular individuals whose influence is appreciated and felt to the present day: John D. Larkin, Darwin D. Martin, Elbert Hubbard, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Robert J. Reidpath. While built during the railroad era to accommodate a manufacturing and distribution company of national scope, many of the buildings have been successfully adapted to a new era and for other uses, such as offices, over the past 15 years. The structures and sites included are: • 726 Exchange St., Larkin R/S/T Building (1911-1912) • 290 Larkin St., Larkin L/M Building (1904) • 635 Seneca St., Larkin I Building, Larkin Power House (1902-1904) • 680 Seneca St., site of Larkin A Building, Larkin Administration Building (1904-1906) • 696 Seneca St., Larkin Men’s Club, former Sacred Heart Church rectory (circa 1890) • 701 Seneca St., Larkin B/C/D/Dx/E/F/G/H/J/K/N/O Buildings, Larkin Factory (1898-1913) • 239 Van Rensselear St., Larkin U Building, Duk-It Building (circa 1893) II. Geographic & Site Significance The Larkin Co. buildings are located in The Hydraulics neighborhood. Buffalo’s first manufacturing district, and a nationally important industrial heritage site, the neighborhood was established in 1827 by Reuben Bostwick Heacock one mile east of downtown Buffalo.

  • Christie's to Auction Architectural Elements Of
    For Immediate Release May 8, 2009 Contact: Milena Sales 212.636.2680 [email protected] CHRISTIE’S TO AUCTION ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS OF THE DANKMAR ADLER & LOUIS SULLIVAN’S CHICAGO STOCK EXCHANGE BUILDING IN EXCEPTIONAL SALE THIS JUNE 20th Century Decorative Art & Design June 2, 2009 New York – Christie’s New York’s Spring 20th Century Decorative Art & Design sale takes place June 2 and will provide an exciting array of engaging and appealing works from all the major movements of the 20th century, exemplifying the most creative and captivating designs that spanned the century. A separate release is available. A highlight of this sale is the superb group of 7 lots featuring architectural elements from Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan’s Chicago Stock Exchange Building. Jeni Sandberg, Christie's Specialist, 20th Century Decorative Art & Design says, “Christie’s prides itself on bringing works of historical importance and cultural relevance to the international art market. We are therefore delighted to offer these remarkable lots, which were designed by Louis Sullivan, one the great creative geniuses of American Architectural history, in our upcoming 20th Century Decorative Art and Design Sale June 2, 2009.” Louis Sullivan and the Chicago Stock Exchange Building Widely acknowledged as one of the 20th century’s most important and influential American architects, Louis Sullivan is considered by many as “the father of modern architecture.” Espousing the influential notion that “form ever follows function,’ Sullivan redefined the architectural mindset of subsequent generations. Despite this seemingly stark dictum, Sullivan is perhaps best known for his use of lush ornament. Natural forms were abstracted and multiplied into until recognizable only as swirling linear elements.

  • Graycliff – a Truly American Story “In His Unshakable Optimism
    Graycliff – A Truly American Story “In his unshakable optimism, messianic zeal, and pragmatic resilience, Wright was quintessentially American.” ‐ Smithsonian magazine tribute on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim. Just as it is often said that Frank Lloyd Wright was truly American in spirit and style, the Graycliff story is woven out of strands that also have a truly American flavor. The American Dream, embodying the notion of opportunity for all, takes shape here in the true-to-life rags-to-riches story of Darwin Martin. The close cousin to the American Dream – the one that holds that through gumption and perseverance one may triumph – is on display as well. Perseverance, resilience, and the comeback story are all in evidence at various stages in Graycliff’s 90 years – for the Martins, for Wright himself, for the house, the region, and for the Graycliff Conservancy as an organization. Win-win relationships where all parties pragmatically get their needs met are both a hallmark of American history and culture and a defining characteristic of relationships at Graycliff where all the key players compromised a little while holding onto their defining principles in the end. One of the most enduring and distinctive American values is the lure and promise of nature, wilderness, and the frontier and the potential of new beginnings that are implicit in the purity of nature and the fresh start that movement to a new place makes possible. This is evident in both the post-retirement reboot for the Martin family at Graycliff and the property’s roots in organic architecture in which the house rose from the lands on which it sits.
