Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Heath House (1903-1904), where this chair resided, for William Heath and his wife Mary Hubbard Heath in Buffalo, NY. Mary Hubbard Heath was the sister of Elbert Hubbard, the founder of the well-known Roycroft Arts & Crafts campus in East Aurora, NY. The Heaths were also friends of Mr. & Mrs. Darwin Martin, whose Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home was built concurrently. This oak chair retains most of its original leather, linen and horsehair upholstery.
