Frank Lloyd Wright
1935-39
 |
Perhaps Wright's most famous house, this was a weekend retreat for the Pittsburgh Kaufman family. Here house and setting are spectacularly integrated. | |
| Concrete cantilevered terraces seem to float above the river and shallow falls. The house is approached through a tree-lined path. Then one crosses over a small bridge. (The waterfall view is actually down-river.) |
