Fallingwater

In school we are actually taking a field trip to the Robbie house, to study architecture. But I love the design of Fallingwater.

Darwin Martin House Complex

Correction: The interior of the house is open for a fantastic tour. Just contrast this house with the other mansions built in the same area at the same time. Astoundindly futuristic! [NOTE FROM EDITOR: As of March 2012, construction is ongoing at the Darwin Martin House. Be sure to call ahead to find out which rooms will be included in your tour.

Taliesin West

I think Taliesin West is when FLW really mastered his organic architecture, and you can really notice the harmony between nature and the structure.

The Price Tower

The Price Tower completed in 1956 is one of my favorite Frank LLoyd Wright masterpieces. Had the great fortune to visit the wonderful building and spending a couple of nights there. What a wonderful treat it was rent a room and stay in a museum now, designed by the master!

Winslow House, River Forest, Illinois

Winslow House is my favorite because the front is simple, while the back is a true expression of FLW.

NATHAN MOORE HOUSE

It is one of the wonderful works done by Frank Lloyd Wright by his imagination and vision
—Guest MAYUR DAVE

Great thought

My ambition is to do this type of building. Fallingwater is the masterpiece. It's like the architect, God, created earth and universe. Undoubtedly the one and only.....Fallingwater....its design is almost equal to a place in heaven.

Administration Bldg

I would love to see more of the visitor center building shaped like an egg. The interior has no inside corners and the museum of the company's products throughout history is very interesting.
—Guest Jeff

Breathtaking

A picture of Fallingwater never fails to thrill me. It is poetry and music in architecture.

The Fallingwater House

The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright has always been great and a source of inspiration. The Fallingwater House is amazing.The beauty, the massiveness, the combination of horizontality and vertcality, the dramatic use of space, nature and function are all awesome. Kudos to FLW.

Just Amazing!

Fallingwater is not a masterpiece, but master of masterpieces!!!

Heurtley House

I walked past this house on my way to Holmes school from third grade through the eighth grade. I love the sleek lines, the textured brick with the slight variation in color, and the privacy it gives those that reside there. Love it! Linda

Ennis-Brown House

This is my favorite of Wright's design. I hope that we will preserve this beautiful architecture for generations to come.
