Description
Detail view of wooden planks spanning the trellis at the home of Edgar and Liliane Kaufmann in Mill Run, Pennsylvania, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1939. "Fallingwater consists of two parts: The main house of the clients which was built between 1936-1938, and the guest room which was completed in 1939. The original house contains simple rooms furnished by Wright himself, with an open living room and compact kitchen on the first floor, and three small bedrooms located on the second floor. The third floor was the location of the study and bedroom of Edgar Jr., the Kaufmann's son.The rooms all relate towards the house's natural surroundings, and the living room even has steps that lead directly into the water below,"--AD Classics: Fallingwater House / Frank Lloyd Wright, by Adelyn Perez, May 14, 2010.
