🌿🏞️ Fallingwater: A Masterpiece Above the Waterfall 🏠

Fallingwater—the iconic masterpiece by architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959)—was built in 1935 for the Kaufmann family, owners of Pittsburgh’s largest department store. 🛍️🏙️ This house isn’t just a home; it’s Wright’s organic architecture manifesto, where art and nature dance as one! 🌿🤝 📍 Location, Location, Location! 🗺️ Nestled in Pennsylvania’s southwestern Laurel Highlands 🌲, near Mill Run, Fayette County, Fallingwater hovers 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. 🗺️🚗 🏗️ Built Into the Landscape 🌄 Wright’s genius? He perched the house atop a waterfall! 💦🏠 Local sandstone and materials were quarried on-site, and craftsmen completed the main house, guest quarters, and service wings by 1939. 👷♂️🧱 🌿 Organic Architecture = Art × Nature 🎨🌳 Fallingwater is unique: It’s the only major Wright work in public hands, preserved with its original furniture, art, and Wright-designed interiors. 🪑🖼️ Step inside, and you’re walking through living history! 🕰️✨ #WrightArchitect #OrganicDesign #LandmarkHomes 🌿🏠
