Frank Lloyd Wright Tour of Fallingwater

Go inside Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece home, Fallingwater.

Fallingwater, also known as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The house was built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run at Rural Route 1 in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains.

Hailed by Time magazine shortly after its completion as Wright’s “most beautiful job,” it is also listed among Smithsonian magazine’s Life List of 28 places “to visit before …it’s too late.” It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.

In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects named the house the “best all-time work of American architecture” and in 2007, it was ranked twenty-ninth on the list of America’s Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.

    Thanks for this video on Fallingwater, where my husband Harrison Reynolds spent a week studying Frank Lloyd Wright's work with other teachers of art and architecture. He recently retired from teaching and now is making FLW style lamps in his home workshop using hardwoods and stained glass. You can check them out at http://maybeiwill-hr.blogspot.com.
