"The Martin House was an extraordinary achievement, and a reason this elaborate and I think very thoughtful restoration is a good thing," Goldberger said. "It's always seemed to me, in a way, that Buffalo is making a kind of public apology for the real disaster of having torn down the Larkin Building.
"This is a very good act of public repentance."

Almost Wright On
At first I thought this was a well researched piece on the Martin House and the Larkin company legacy and the preservation of the complex. But I wondered why critic Paul Goldberger is mentioned so many times as a source .I didn't know or think that he was a Wright scholar..
A google search shows that Goldberger was interviewed for a documentary now on DVD, hence the source for the quotes and the main body of facts presented in the article. Sort of a cheat just paraphrasing a DVD isn't it? Or did I miss something?
