Barton House

George Barton House

The house, constructed in 1903 for George Barton & his wife Della Martin Barton (sister of Darwin D. Martin) at the northern corner of the Darwin D. Martin lot. George Barton at the time was employed with the Larkin company. The architect was Frank Lloyd Wright.

The basic floor plan of this house is a standard cruciform, with the dining room, living space such as; library, dining and reception areas open freely in to one another as discrete subdivisions of a continuous space taking up the central axis in a plan that is based on Henderson House. The two major bedrooms on the second story are located at the opposite ends of the corridor. The kitchen is tucked away behind the main stairway at the other end of the house from the entry porch.
