During a project near Buffalo, we ate lunch at the historic Roycroft Inn located in East Aurora, NY. During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s Elbert Hubbard developed a self-contained community of craftspeople. The community was a Mecca for Arts and Crafts people, and such notables as Frank Lloyd Wright and Gustav Stickley were participants. The beautiful wicker furniture in the lobby is a prime example of the products of that time, and the rooms at the inn are named after famous artists and poets of the time.
