FALLINGWATER ( franck lloyd wright )

The Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, better known as "Fallingwater," was built in 1936 over a waterfall on Bear Run near Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania.
Considered by some to be the most famous non-royal private home in the history of the world, Fallingwater is one of the seventeen buildings designated by the American Institute of Architects to be retained as an example of Wright's architectural contribution to American culture. The house, its contents and its surrounding nature reserve were presented to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy by Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. in 1963. The only remaining great Wright house with its setting, original furnishings, and art work intact, Fallingwater is open to the public for guided tours during most of the year.
