The Falls


1930s businessman Edgar Kaufmann Sr. and his family lived in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Kaufmann owned a rural retreat outside the city and wanted a weekend home there. He assumed his 67-year-old architect would design the home with a good view of the Bear Run waterfall.

Instead, the architect designed the home on the waterfall.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater masterpiece is a 3.5 hour drive from Wooster and makes a wonderful day trip. In 2013 I thoroughly enjoyed an in-depth guided tour of this iconic residence. I look forward to returning some day.

One response to “The Falls”

  1. Fallingwater is amazing. I didn’t have the highest of expectations the first time I visited, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Every room (without exception) was so fascinating, interesting, and just… cool… The house is absolutely incredible.
