If you are in Pittsburgh and you finish all of your touristy activities, I can not recommend more highly a trip out to Fallingwater in Mill Run, PA. This is one of the most famous houses built by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufman Family of Pittsburgh.

We know it is a trek from Pittsburgh but you will not be disappointed. The concept of building a house over a waterfall is so unique that this house has stood the test of time.

Even before its construction was complete, Fallingwater captured the world’s imagination. Its fame would be become undeniable in 1937, as Frank Lloyd Wright appeared on the cover of Time, posed in front of his drawing of Fallingwater. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City dedicated a two-year traveling exhibition, A New House by Frank Lloyd Wright (1938), to its unique design. It soon graced the pages of Life as well as Architectural Forum, making it one of the most recognizable houses in the world. A second MoMA exhibition, Frank Lloyd Wright, Architect, opened following the completion of Fallingwater’s guest house in 1939.

This was the highlight of our trip to western Pennsylvania and we highly recommend a trip to anyone who happens to be nearby.
