Description
The Laurel Highlands make up one of Pennsylvania's most beautiful areas in autumn.
Look closely, though, among the rushing water of the Bear Run and the changing leaves, and you will see one of the nation's great architectural masterpieces.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater has been called the "best all-time work of American architecture" by the American Institute of Architects, and just looking at it from a distance, you can see why, sitting in this remote rural location.
In the mid-1930s, department store magnate Edgar Kaufmann contacted Wright about building this masterpiece just below a waterfall. Wright had a different idea. He wanted to incorporate the waterfall into the house's design — and the rest was history.
