1953 Mr. and Mrs. I.N. Hagan purchased about 80 acres in the mountains above Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where their families had lived for gererations. They knew the owners of nearby Fallingwater, had visited many times, and hoped Frank Lloyd Wright would design a home for them.

Wright was 86 years old and at work on the Guggenheim Museum, the Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, and about 13 residential dwellings. He situated their home, a magnificent Usonian, near the 2,050-foot summit.

The Hagans lived at Kentuck Knob almost 30 years and in 1986 sold the property to Lord Peter Palumbo of London, England. He opened the house and grounds to public tours in 1996.
