The decline of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Darwin Martin House Complex began after Martin's death in 1935. The architect's greatest "Prairie style" house and the other Wright-designed buildings on Jewett Parkway were neglected, razed or sold. A move to save the complex began in the 1970s and strengthened in the '90s when community leaders and preservationists started to pull together.
Their efforts are coming to fruition as ceremonies Wednesday celebrate the restoration of the conservatory, carriage house and pergola. A special section in today's News tells the story.
