Built in the early 1900s, the Larkin Administration Building in Buffalo, New York was one of the few large public buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Larkin Building was modern for its time with conveniences like air conditioning.
Tragically, the Larkin Company struggled financially and the building fell into disrepair. For awhile the office building was used as a store for Larkin products. Then, in 1950 when Frank Lloyd Wright was 83, the Larkin Building was demolished. This historic photograph is was part of the Guggenheim Museum 50th Anniversary Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibition.
