One of my all time favorite buildings. With it's concrete cantilevered terraces seem to float above the river and shallow falls. The house is approached through a tree-lined path. Then one crosses over a small bridge. Then you see the cantilevered terraces, the detail, the view -- whats not to like.
If you like Fallingwater you must go 7 miles down the road to Kentuck Knob, you will not regret it.
