Frank Lloyd Wright's 1936 house in rural Pennsylvania sits directly over a waterfall, with cream-colored reinforced-concrete terraces cantilevered from a core of rough-cut stone. Horizontal balconies and bands of red-framed windows play against the vertical masonry, tying the building to the rock ledges below. It is a National Historic Landmark and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
