USA ~ Fallingwater - Mill Run - Pennsylvania - UNESCO ~

...Pretty view of an architectural marvel... a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece... built partly overa 9 meter stunning waterfall on the Bear Run stream blending nature with innovative design... a symbol of harmony between man-made structures and nature on 2,000 ha land... Fallingwater accordingly grows from the site’s rocky landscape... its concrete terraces float above the falls, drawing attention to the water while respecting its space... Fallingwater is a house museum and attracts about 150,000 visitors per year... with two tiny stamps showing Frank Lloyd Wright👍... Thanks Alena!¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 for Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. and Liliane Kaufmann (as a weekend retreat) in Mill Run.

Fallingwater was mainly complete in 1937, with the family occupying the residence that fall. It quickly gained fame when Time magazine featured Wright and a drawing of the building on the cover of its January 17, 1938, issue. Wright added a guest house to the site in 1939 to accommodate the Kaufmanns’ curious visitors.

In 2019 the residence, along with seven other Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
