K and I visited Falling Waters about 10 years ago. It was a memorable day and a wonderful learning experience.

If you are a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, you should check out Fallingwater. It represents a pivotal moment in his career – a masterpiece of organic architecture that thrust him back on the world stage after he’d largely been sidelined by The Great Depression.

The project was a commission from a prominent Pittsburgh family that asked Wright to design a weekend home for them near a waterfall in Pennsylvania’s lush Laurel Highlands.

Instead of designing a house that looked onto the falls, Wright built ithe falls into the house, mirroring the pattern of the surrounding rock ledges with cantilevered concrete “trays.”

Fallingwater became a museum in 1964 and has been a hit ever since. We saw it about a decade ago. Like many of Wright’s extant structures, the house has been getting continuous repairs to keep it standing. But even with that going on, it was a great afternoon to walk though it and admire his genius.
