If asked to choose between my love of Williams College and my love of architecture (especially early 20th century, prairie style architecture), I would be hard pressed to make a decision.  Thankfully, Christine Roach ’88 was kind enough to show us two of Buffalo’s great cultural sights yesterday morning: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House, and the Albright-Knox Museum.

Our first stop was the Martin House.  Jason and I are architecture nerds and  were super excited, and Emily joined in the enthusiasm once she realized that Frank Lloyd Wright was a famous architect, not the inventor of the airplane.  (Note to all future employers of Emily Flynn: please don’t take this as a statement on Emily’s intelligence.  She was on the Dean’s list many times.)  Here are some pictures of our visit:

Next, we headed to the Albright-Knox Museum, which was incredibly impressive.  We saw works by Picasso, Renoir, Gaugin, Brancusi, Hartwell, Derain, Pollock, Dali, O’Keeffe and lots of others.  The building was beautiful, too; we highly recommend a visit.  Here are some pictures of us looking like intelligent, thoughtful, art historically knowledgeable Williams grads:
