Fallingwater Home was designed Lloyd Wright in 1937. Wright built this home as a vacation home for a family who lived in Pittsburgh, PA, the Kaufman family. The Kaufman family owned a department store, now known as Macy's. They hired Mr. Wright to design this house because of the son in the family, he was very interested in Wright's work. The reason this house is magnificent is because of where it is built. The house hangs 30' over the waterfall and its structure is unbelievable. Today, over 70,000 visitors come to see this amazing house each year. This house is in Bears Run, PA and is one of Wright's master pieces of all time. I really like this house because I think it would be a cool house to live in. Wake up in the mornings and walk out onto the balcony which is hanging over a waterfall and the house is surrounded by nature! That would be pretty nice. And to top everything, I am still puzzled on how he came up with the idea of building a house over a waterfall and the construction was completed. It truly is a masterpiece of Wright's and one that inspired many European workers.
