About Fallingwater House
Wright designed Fallingwater House for Liliane and Edgar Kaufmann. Edgar Kaufmann owned department stores in nearby Pittsburgh. Fallingwater House is perhaps best known for its cantilevered construction, which allows parts of the house to literally hang over a creek; the house is situated immediately adjacent and above a small, serene waterfall.
Fallingwater House has long been a favorite stop among tourists and architectural connoisseurs alike. Fallingwater House has undergone renovation in recent years, with much effort going into preserving the house's aging infrastructure.
