The most famous of Frank Lloyd Wright's many houses.

If you look closely at the top of the picture you can see where two panes of glass meet (a fine
vertical
white line) at right angles; these seamless right corners are among the wonders of
the house.
Living room
The lid of this cast-iron kettle weighs 37 pounds; when the kettle
was swung over the fire the
paint burned off.
Behind the chair you can see how beautifully the glass and steel join the stone masonry.
In the bedrooms
From the falls side
A few miles away, Wright's KENTUCK KNOB, still somebody's house (he's an English lord
and real estate baron), is a much more modest affair. Wright designed it but did not supervise construction.
These carved patterns are unique to the house, as are the patterns in the windows along the front
side of the house.
