| The Martin house, with its conservatory and connecting pergola is
one of Wright's largest prairie style homes. Abandoned after the Martins
encountered difficult financial difficulties during the depression, it lay
vacant for years. A portion of the property was sold off and an apartment
building constructed, the conservatory and pergola were demolished.
Today, the propety is being restored to its original condition. A
restoration committe has been formed to raise the money for the restoration.
They have already purchased the apartment building that is on the
property, and will eventually demolish it and rebuild the pergola and
conservatory. Tours of the house are available, click
