Wright there...

Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture is always a welcome subject on WPT's airwaves. With his strong ties to the state, Wright is one of Wisconsin's favorite sons. But, at 7 Wednesday night, a presentation of Frank Lloyd Wright's Buffalo explores the architect's connection to the western New York city.

With the exception of his prolific work in Chicago, Buffalo is home to more of Wright's structures than any other American city. The center point of the program is the current restoration of the Darwin Martin House, a project Wright undertook early in his career for a businessman who would become a close friend. The program also includes footage from Wright's Spring Green home, as well as numerous other structures that he worked on in Oak Park, Ill. and Buffalo.

More than an architect, the lore of Wright's life and work is still celebrated, researched and critiqued by folks all around the world. Here in Wisconsin, there are active groups who devote efforts to restoration and educational projects. And, tourists flock to the state's Wright buildings in Racine, Madison and beyond.
