Larkin Administration Building

The Larkin Administration Building in 1906

The Larkin Building was an office building in Buffalo, New York, noted for innovations that included central air conditioning, built-in desk furniture, and suspended toilet partitions and bowls. Located at 680 Seneca Street, it was demolished in 1950.

Designed in 1903 by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1904–1906 for the Larkin Soap Company, the five-story dark-red brick building used pink-tinted mortar and steel-frame construction. Sculptor Richard Bock provided ornamentation for the building.[1]
