When Frank Lloyd Wright designed Graycliff, Isabelle R. Martin had a very specific request: she wanted the house flooded with natural light.

Isabelle experienced impaired vision from an early age, and her desire for abundant light influenced the design of her summer home — including spaces used by the Martin family's staff.

While the Martin House in Buffalo was designed decades earlier as the family’s primary residence, Graycliff was created as a very different kind of home: a light-filled summer retreat shaped around Isabelle’s wishes.

On your next visit, see how many ways you can spot Isabelle’s love of light reflected throughout Graycliff!

The orchard is growing again at Graycliff! 🍎 🍐

When Graycliff’s gardens were completed in 1931, the estate extended beyond the formal Home Grounds into fields used for a more hands-on connection with the land. Those fields included a vegetable garden, wildflower meadow, pine grove, and an orchard of about 30 fruit trees.

This month, Head Gardener Emma Hahn took an exciting step toward bringing that orchard back to life, planting 15 new heirloom fruit trees - 12 apples and 3 pears.

The collection includes historic varieties such as Northern Spy, Baldwin, Golden Russet, Grimes Golden, Esopus Spitzenburg, Chenango Strawberry, Beurre Bosc, Anjou, and Seckel.

These young trees were planted bare-root, meaning they’ll need a few seasons to grow into the orchard we envision. And if you notice a few looking a little crooked at first, don’t worry! Young trees are planted with their trunks straight at the base, while their flexible upper growth naturally responds to sunlight as they mature.

The orchard is still in its early stages, but we’re excited to watch it grow and help reconnect Graycliff’s landscape with its history as a country retreat.

Book your tour today, and come explore Graycliff’s history and landscape for yourself!

A garden star worth catching before the season ends!

Right now, the Picking Garden is putting on a show with ‘Purple Dome’ Aster, a compact cultivar of our native New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae).

You may recognize its wild counterpart blooming in frothy purple masses along roadsides and fields this time of year. Here at Graycliff, ‘Purple Dome’ brings that same vibrant color to the garden in a neat, compact form - especially striking alongside rusty foliage and softer, neutral blooms.

Come see it for yourself before the blooms fade! Book your tour of Graycliff and experience the gardens at their autumn best.

Have you ever noticed something missing from Graycliff’s rooflines?

Traditional exposed gutters.

Wright originally designed the house without them, favoring the clean lines of the architecture. Today, water is directed in different ways depending on the roof area – some flows directly from the roof into the sunken garden, while water from the balconies is carried away through a concealed drainage system that directs it away from the foundation.

While Graycliff was designed as a summer home for the Martin family, we think it looks especially beautiful in the fall 🍂

As the gardens change and the trees turn golden along the Lake Erie bluff, Graycliff takes on a whole new kind of beauty.

We have just two more weeks of our summer tour schedule before transitioning to our fall schedule on October 13.
