Fallingwater

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), this house was built in 1936 as a family retreat for Pittsburgh businessman Edgar J. Kaufmann. Widely admired for its design, it is dramatically cantilevered over a waterfall; it exemplifies Wright's desire to join architecture with nature. Edgar Kaufmann Jr. presented the house to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1963.

Marker is on Mill Run Road (Pennsylvania Route 381) 1.5 miles north of Maple Summit Road (Pennsylvania Route 2017), on the right when traveling north.
