Fallingwater





After our bicycle ride on the GAP, we took an extended tour of Frank Lloyd Wright designed Fallingwater.

The tour took over 2 1/2 hours and covered the entire house and guest house. Wright designed this house right over a waterfall, making it the focal point of the home. He focused on common living spaces in the home. Other areas like bedrooms and the kitchen are very nice but are built more for function. Another Wright trademark is the obscure main entrance, designed to draw no attention.
