Fallingwater

Fayette County · dedicated 1994 · Mill Run/Whites Bridge Rd. (Rt. 381) at Fallingwater Rd., Mill Run

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), this house was built in 1936 as a family retreat for Pittsburgh businessman Edgar J. Kaufmann. Widely admired for its design, it is dramatically cantilevered over a waterfall; it exemplifies Wright's desire to join architecture with nature. Edgar Kaufmann jr. presented the house to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1963.
