Martin was President of the Larkin Soap Company, a large manufacturer & major retailer. Martin hired Wright in his early career to build the Larkin commercial building. Martin & several other Larkin executives then had Wright design their homes around Buffalo. When Wright later went bankrupt, Martin lead the group who bailed Wright out. |
