Graycliff was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1926-31 for Isabelle R. Martin, wife of industrialist Darwin Martin, as a summer home for the family on the bluffs above Lake Erie in Derby, New York. AS THE GRAYCLIFF STORY CONTINUES TO UNFOLD, WE WELCOME YOU TO JOIN US ON THE JOURNEY. Graycliff stands majestically on the shore of Lake Erie as a monument to one of the greatest American tales ever told. It’s a story about a wealthy businessman’s ambition of building a breezy summer retreat for his family, a woman’s steadfast influence in an otherwise male-dominated society, an acclaimed architect on the downward slope of his career, and a country on the brink of a financial crisis that threatened to extinguish it all.Graycliff was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1926-31 for Isabelle R.
