I live relatively close to Fallingwater. I’ve been through it once. It’s a masterpiece, but lacks that ‘cozy’ feel. Sure is in a lovely setting though!

For all the engineering problem and various design shortcomings, Fallingwater is one of the preeminent masterpieces of American architecture.

Anyone visiting Pittsburg or western PA should go out of their way to see it. Watching the house come into view as you approach it is truly amazing.

Wright was an arrogant, womanizing and mean SOB, but was a genius too with a 70+ year history of brilliance. Perhaps the greatest American artist ever.

Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. and his parents did a great thing as patrons of the wicked Wright and in deeding the property to the Western PA Conservancy.

It would be a great house until you can’t stand the sound of constant running water.

I don’t think anyone could get all the Federal, State and Local permits to build that house today.
