Built as a country getaway for Edgar Kaufmann, Sr., his wife Liliane and their son Edgar, Jr., over a 30-foot waterfall in the mountains southeast of Pittsburgh, it was a modern marvel that captivated the nation when it appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1938 and still has the same effect on us today, in spite of design problems that necessitated a major renovation in 2001.

What gorgeous photos. I've never seen those particular interior ones.
ReplyDeleteI love Fallingwater too. I could look at it all day.
I would love to see it one day - gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of "if money were no object"...
ReplyDelete@Mr.Modtomic: No kidding. I found it interesting that it cost $155,000 to build back in the 30s and over $11 mil to restore a few years ago.
