“The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own, we have no soul of our own civilization.” — Frank Lloyd Wright Some of the buildings we preserve as state historic sites are grand artistic statements. Others are bold statements of wealth and position. Still others are humble structures where ordinary people lived or worked. All of them offer a window into the past, and on World Architecture Day, we’re celebrating the ultimate pairing of form and function. 📍Olana State Historic Site, Hudson 📍Darwin Martin House, Buffalo📍Clermont State Historic Site, Germantown 📍Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion, Canandaigua 📍Washington’s Headquarters,Newburgh 📍Crailo State Historic Site, Rennsalaer 📍Staatsburgh State Historic Site, Staatsburgh 📍John Brown Farm State Historic Site, Lake Placid #worldarchitectureday #nysparks #olanashs #olana #fredericchurch #darwinmartinhouse #buffalony #franklloydwright #clermontstatehistoricsite #columbiacountyny #sonnenberggardens #canandaigua #fingerlakes #washingtonsheadquarters #newburghny #crailostatehistoricsite #rennsalaer #staatsburghstatehistoricsite #mckimmeadandwhite #johnbrownfarmstatehistoricsite #lakeplacid
