Fallingwater is a home created by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in the Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania, roughly 90 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. The name "Fallingwater" is a pun on Frank Lloyd Wright's initials: FLW, or FalLingWater. Viewed from the outside, the house appears to be falling into a lake but it is actually surrounded by the water. The site where it stands is called a "precipice," which inspired the name "Fallingwater." An elevator brings visitors up to the first floor landing, where a wooden bridge leads out to another landing with more stairs and a view of the river 50 feet below. The arrangement of floors, bridges, and staircases creates a complex design that requires use of both sides of your brain—the same ones used for logic puzzles and math problems. The owner of the house was an industrialist named John G. Speyer who made his money in textiles. Like many people at the time, he wanted something unique for himself and his family to live in instead of renting out rooms in their old house. So they hired Wright to design them a new one. The result was this amazing structure that looks like it might collapse any moment! Even though it was built to be permanent, Mr. Speyer hoped someday to move into it with his wife and children.
