History
In 1934 Frank Lloyd Wright took a trip to Bear Run, this is where falling water would eventually be built, He was inspired by Pottsville Sandstone which is close by. He took inspiration from the appearance of sandstone or rock that is unique for landscapes. Two years later in 1936 the construction of Fallingwater began. Lots of local labourers and craftsmen were hired and the materials were obtained from Kaufmanns' land. Falling water was eventually completed in 1937 and is now a air bnb but because of Covid regulations is now a self-guided experience.
