Description: "I conceived a love of you quite beyond the ordinary relationship of client and Architect. That love gave you Fallingwater. You will never have anything more in your life like it," says Frank Lloyd Wright to Edgar Kaufmann, the patron who comissioned one of the most famous private homes from twentieth-century American architecture. Toker describes the birth of Fallingwater on Kaufmann's land called Bear Run in the Pennsylvania countryside, including how it revived Wright's stature as an architect and how later years built up architectural and cultural myths around the structure.
