We first visited Fallingwater in 1984. It wasn't again until the summer and autumn of 2008, some 24 years later, that we visited this remarkable home. This photo is from our visit in September 2008, when we attended and spoke at the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy conference held at Bear Run. The Conservancy, in cooperation with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, held a twilight reception and dinner at the home.
This photo is a near twilight view from the west terrace looking up at the vertical stone chimney mass. The kitchen area is directly ahead with Mr. Kaufmann's bedroom directly above that. Mrs. Kaufmann's bedroom and terrace is to the right of Mr. Kaufmann's bedroom. The main living area is to the right and below Mrs. Kaufmann's bedroom and terrace.

I first read about the Rookery Building in Erik Larson's non-fiction book, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America, where it was described as "a gorgeous light-filled structure." Frank Lloyd Wright, who at one point had offices in the building, redesigned the lobby, which is open to the public. And it is beautiful.
the blue - an unusual colour in a predominantly red house - is to draw the eye to the room down into the left.
The Frank Thomas house. Looking forward to seeing this on the Wright Plus tour this year. No connection to the Big Hurt ;)
