Historical Assoc. of Lewiston April 2025 program: “A Trip Back in Time to the Larkin Administration Building”.

Description

Join us when Jerry Puma, a local historian whose passion for almost 50 years has been local architectural history and preservation, leads the  “A Trip Back in Time to the Larkin Administration Building” discussion.

Jerry’s program will take us back on a trip in time to architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s Larkin Administration Building in Buffalo, NY, that opened in 1906 and became a parking lot in 1950. He will begin with a brief history of the Larkin Co., and then through examination of photos that belonged to the Larkin family and various artifacts from the building and company that are unique to Jerry’s collection, we will learn the significance and unique characteristics of a building that has been described as one of the top ten losses of architecture of all time.

This community event is free and open to all but donations are greatly appreciated to help support our museum, refreshments will be served. Come on out and join us and enjoy learning about one of Western New York’s most prominent men and his company.
