Frank Lloyd Wright's Buffalo Screening

In partnership with the Buffalo History Museum, Buffalo Toronto Public Media invites you to a screening of Frank Lloyd Wright's Buffalo on April 26 from 6-7:30 pm at the Buffalo History Museum.

In Buffalo, N.Y., some of the greatest works of American architecture relay a remarkable story that resonates with the universal themes of home, family and friendship. The charismatic Frank Lloyd Wright, destined to become America’s greatest architect, called Darwin Martin, an unassuming, wealthy businessman from Buffalo, his “best friend.” This WNED PBS documentary, narrated by David Ogden Stiers, reveals how Martin’s three decades of support fostered Wright’s career and led to some of the architect’s renowned masterpieces.

After the film, we will hear from guest speaker Jessie Fisher. Jessie Fisher is the newly appointed Executive Director of the Martin House in Buffalo, NY. Jessie was raised in Buffalo and earned her master's degree in Urban Design and Planning from the University of Washington. Prior to joining the Martin House team, Jessie served as the Executive Director of Preservation Buffalo Niagara, the Director of Planning at Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper, ran her own planning and construction consulting business, Buffalo Urban Design Studio, and worked on preservation projects across Western New York while at Flynn Battaglia Architects. When she’s not working, she can be found dragging her husband and four children through all manner of historic and cultural sites across North America, and indulging her daily New York Times Crossword Puzzle habit.

Admission to the museum is Pay What You Wish.
