Buffalo
New York · United States
An Art Deco city hall and a Frank Lloyd Wright masterwork, standing on their own architectural merit.
Buffalo holds Buffalo City Hall, a 32-story Art Deco skyscraper completed in 1931 and widely regarded as one of the most architecturally significant city halls in the US, and the Darwin D. Martin House, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most significant early 20th-century Prairie School commissions.
DISCOVER BUFFALO
A city defined by civic Art Deco design and a Frank Lloyd Wright masterwork.
Buffalo City Hall rises 32 stories as an Art Deco skyscraper completed in 1931, widely regarded as one of the most architecturally significant city halls in the United States. Its observation deck is free to visit, though subject to security screening and occasional closures. The Darwin D. Martin House offers a genuinely distinct second anchor: a Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School masterwork complex, considered one of his most significant early 20th-century commissions. Interior visits are by guided tour only.

Buffalo City Hall · Darwin D. Martin House
Buffalo's identity rests on its own architecture — an Art Deco city hall and a Frank Lloyd Wright masterwork, not a Niagara Falls footnote.
Buffalo City Hall's 1931 Art Deco design and the Darwin D. Martin House's Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School architecture give Buffalo two genuinely distinct, nationally significant architectural anchors of its own.
