George Barton House

The George Barton House in Buffalo, New York (USA) was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed in 1903 for George Barton, an employee of the Larkin Company, and his wife Delta Martin Barton (sister of Darwin D. Martin). The house was sited at the northern corner of the lot shared by the Darwin D. Martin House.

The basic floor plan of this house is cruciform, with the dining room, living space library, and reception areas freely open to one another as discrete subdivisions of a continuous space, similar to Wright's Henderson House. The two major bedrooms on the second story are located at the opposite ends of the corridor. The kitchen is tucked away behind the main stairway at the other end of the house from the entry porch.
