One of the grandest of Wright’s Prairie houses. Martin was an officer of the Larkin Soap Co., whose Administration Building Wright designed a year before Martin’s residence.

The Martin House is located within the Parkside East Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
