Fallingwater, Pennvylvania


We decided to finish our Frank Lloyd Wright summer by visiting Fallingwater in Pennsylvania.  It's located 90 miles south of Pittsburgh.  We spent the night in Pittsburgh and had a good Italian dinner.

This is the view from the Visitor Center.  This place is very organized and well run.  It's in the middle of nowhere, but if you get close, it's worth the time.

This was the first views of the house.

The family that commissioned the house were the Kaufmans who owned department stores in Pittsburgh.





In the early 2000s they finished a major restoration of the house.  They had to shore up the cantilevers, etc.

It's a masterpiece, we're glad we went!
