Neighborhoods
The Village of Williamsville is blessed with a bevy of treasures: the historic Williamsville Water Mill, pocket parks, Old Home Days, never-ending “family friendly” activities. Coming a long way from its historic roots, Williamsville now hosts a variety of boutiques, cafes, gift shops and restaurants. From indulging in a few classic or craft cocktails to shopping local, it’s all just steps away from the beautiful Glen Falls.

Imagine a neighborhood where visitors linger at open-air cafes and browse farmer’s market vendors on a tree-lined parkway in the summer, while gathering at cozy coffeehouses and pubs in the winter. Picture a district where independently-owned and artisanal are the descriptors used for retailers instead of chain and franchise. Think of a place where public art can be seen on nearly every block. That’s Buffalo’s Elmwood Village, named by the American Planning Association as one of the country’s 10 best neighborhoods and home to some of the city’s most popular shops, bars and restaurants .

At 350 acres, Delaware Park was the largest of the three original parks and was a landscape that Olmsted and Vaux called a “country park”.
Although today’s park still offers much in the way of original features, many others have yet to be restored. These include Spire Head House (an exotic gazebo designed by Vaux), a quarry garden, bridle paths, and pedestrian pathways.
Delaware Park can also host Baseball, Basketball, Golf, and Tennis.
One of the first Frederick Law Olmsted-designed parks in Buffalo, the 350 acres of meadow, forest and lake serve as Buffalo’s “Central Park” featuring boating on Hoyt Lake by the Marcy Casino, Rose Garden, Japanese Gardens, and a golf course, and newly added horse-drawn carriage rides (Sunday only from 1pm – 5pm.) As the focal point of the Olmsted System, it contains many popular cultural institutions.
Olmsted had predicted that Delaware Park was destined to take a “distinguished position among the parks of the world.” Known as many Buffalonians’ favorite Olmsted park, it is also nationally recognized.

In 1905, Frank Lloyd Wright completed a residential estate that would become one of the most important works of his career. Buffalo's Martin House is a seminal Prairie House and a rare Wright design that incorporates multiple structures for an extended family.
A self-made man, Darwin D. Martin was a top executive for the Larkin Soap Company, a rapidly growing soap and mail order corporation at the turn of the 19th century. Having experienced a lonely and isolated childhood, Martin's dream was to have a home where his family could be reunited. This dream was realized when he commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright - destined to become America's greatest architect - to design the estate.
The estate would include a spectacular main house for Darwin and his wife, Isabelle, as well as a conservatory, a garage-stable, a dramatic connecting pergola, and a separate house for Martin's sister and brother-in-law, Delta and George Barton.
Today, the Martin House, a National Historic Landmark, has been restored to its glorious zenith of 1907. The museum consists of six buildings, grounds and gardens, and guest amenities including an interpretive visitor center, museum store, and cafe. A gardener's cottage was also added to the estate in 1909.

GRAYCLIFF
It was said that Isabelle Martin never really liked the Darwin Martin House, built at her husband’s request by Frank Lloyd Wright. Its broad cantilevered eaves made the house too dark for her and, with her eyesight failing, she longed for a home filled with light. So Martin commissioned a second home, awash with light and complemented by fresh breezes reminiscent of their summers spent in the Adirondacks.
The result was Graycliff, a mid-career example of Wright’s concept of organic architecture, where barriers are broken between buildings and the outside. Located at 6472 Old Lake Shore Road in Derby, Graycliff is set on a cliff 65 feet above Lake Erie with sweeping views of Lake Erie and Canada.
Graycliff is comprised of three buildings set within eight scenic acres of gardens and grounds, all designed by Wright. The largest building, the two-story, 6,500 square-foot Isabelle R. Martin House, served as the Martin summer home from 1927 to the mid-1940’s. The long, low, horizontal lines of the house echo the lake and the cliff strata. It not only captures the warm summer light and the cool lake breezes, but even in the depths of winter is filled with light, an inviting and welcoming home.
Built using local limestone and red-stained cedar roofs, Graycliff is recognized as one of Wright’s most significant designs of the 1920s, and shares several innovative architectural elements that found full expression at Wright’s most famous dwelling, Fallingwater, designed a decade later. Docent-led tours are available by reservation.
