Fallingwater was the weekend home of Pittsburgh businessman Edgar Kaufmann, Sr. and family from 1937 to 1963. As probably everybody knows, the house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to sit over a waterfall on Bear Run in southwestern Pennsylvania.
I couldn't imagine living there, but the house is well worth a visit! The setting is absolutely beautiful and Wright's idiosyncratic design is interesting. If you can, go on a dry day. As I found out a humid morning = a stinky Fallingwater. Despite several fans the house had an intense mildew smell.
Beautiful. I'd love to go.

I wonder if they had to get up a night to go to the bathroom more often than most people.
