Information About

Derby, New York




Derby is located on the shores of Lake Erie in the southwest part of Erie County and 18 Miles south-west of Buffalo . After World War I, many wealthy Buffalo families built their summer estates there, including one called "Graycliff" designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of Darwin Martin, an executive in the highly successful Larkin Soap Company. A recent restoration project has restored the house to its former beauty. It is open only on select days of the year, however. Information can be found at the web site dedicated to the house: http://graycliff.bfn.org/
