Frank Lloyd Wright designed the house in 1908 for Larkin Company executive Walter V. Davidson, who joined the company in 1906 and left the company, house and Buffalo in 1913.  
Built during Wright’s prairie home period this house shares many features of the Isabelle Robert’s house in Oak Park, IL.  The over 66 leaded glass windows of this home are clear.  Perhaps the window design is best appreciated in the unique two-story cathedral-like living room illuminated by huge bay windows at the east end of the room and by the clerestory windows along the north and south walls.With flower boxes around the windows and the enormous back covered porch open on three sides, this home truly allows one to appreciate the principles of Wright’s organic architecture.  This home shows experiments of things yet to come from Wright.  Low sweeping roofs that characterized his Usonian houses of the 1930’s.
