Larkin District Walking Tour 11am
About the event
The Larkin District, or Larkinville, is the reborn former home of the Larkin Soap Company. In the early 1900s, the Larkin Company was one of the largest mail order companies in the country, and one of its executives, Darwin D. Martin, was responsible for bringing Frank Lloyd Wright to Buffalo. Today, the former Larkin factories and warehouses have been brought back to life and the area is bustling with activity once again. Join us to explore the Larkin Company's past while enjoying the revitalized neighborhood. This is an exterior-only tour.
Meet outside of 840 Seneca Street, Buffalo, NY 14210, at the corner of Seneca and Lord Streets. This tour is approximately ninety minutes in length and approximately 1.2 miles of walking.
