Nice architectural series. I like the perspective in nos. 1, 4, and 7..

Thanks for looking. I lived in this neighborhood for awhile when I was young.

On the opposite corner diagonally from the Wright house is the Church we attended:



This neighborhood has many fine examples of other architectural styles (Victorian,
Tudor, Craftsman). This is one is directly accross the street:



And these are also in walking distance







I hope this series along with the ones I did on Delaware Park and Forest Lawn Cemetery gives a different flavor of Buffalo than what many have perceived .... more like what one of our own,NBC News' Tim Russert, talked about.

The man could definitely design! Although, my favorite is the craftsman house.

Lovely! Frank Lloyd Wright home, of course. And, the whole neighborhood.

We have a home of his nearby.Went on a tour of it about 15 years ago. I just love his work.

Thanks for sharing.

Real nice series,
i like no 4 of the first series; i ilke it because of the framing with parts of the house
no 3 and no 5 of the second series,
in no 3 i ilke the fancy ornaments on the house, wish i could afford that for our house
no 5 is quite commoni some regions in europe, and i am a fan of that style, since i have seen this the first time as a boy.
Thanks for the great series and bye

What a beautiful house, love the lines. It's amazing that it looks so fresh since it was built over 100 years ago. Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture is truly timeless. This is a very nice series, thanks for posting it.

Actually, quite a bit of it has been renovated and rebuilt to the original specifications over the past few years. In fact they are still working on part of it, which I didn't include in the photos. There is a seven foot chain link construction fence completely around the property, so the majority of my shots were taken in the blindwith my arms stretched over my head to get above the fence. I was pleasantly surprised that they have a nice looking lawn in place this year.

Thanks all for looking.
