IN LIVING COLOR: PBS SERIES SHOWCASES MARTIN HOUSE RECONSTRUCTION (10/05) It's a drama with a happy ending-a story of demise and renewal. Thanks to local PBS affiliate WNED-TV, the rebirth of the Martin House complex will be celebrated and documented for posterity in High Definition TV (HDTV). The first segment of a three-part series, Saving a Landmark: The Darwin Martin House, aired in April. The programs share the progress of the project-involving the world's first reconstruction of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings-and highlight the intense community participation in the effort. Segment one, hosted by Drew Kahn, recalled the story of the site's collapse and the rallying cry for restoration, and featured: Frank Lloyd Wright scholar, author and professor Robert McCarter Darwin Martin Foster, grandson of Wright clients Darwin D. and Isabelle Martin Martin House Restoration Corporation Executive Director John C. Courtin Restoration Architect Ted Lownie, of Hamilton Houston Lownie Architects, LLC A visit to the Belden Brick Company in Sugar Creek, Ohio, to see the manufacture of Roman-style bricks that will be used in the reconstruction. The other two segments are tentatively set to air in fall 2005 and spring 2006. The latter is expected to premiere the reconstructed pergola, conservatory and carriage house structures, and will be broadcast nationally and in Canada, inviting the world to come see the "latest" Wright masterpiece. The series originated with WNED President Don Boswell and is being produced by Paul Lamont, with support from the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation.
