- Join Alice and Tommy T as they provide you a 2021 full walkthrough tour of Fallingwater near Ohiopyle State Park. Fallingwater, a National Historic Landmark and a site inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, is open to the public for guided tours and grounds passes. This is the ultimate Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece! 2021 Fallingwater Full Tour in 4K is a great video of each and every room of the award winning home. Fallingwater is a house designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1936 and built in 1939 in the Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania, about 70 miles (110 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. The award winning house was built over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, located in the the Allegheny Mountains. The house was designed as a weekend home for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann, the owner of Kaufmann's Department Store.
After its completion, Time called Fallingwater Wright's "most beautiful job" and it is listed among Smithsonian's "Life List of 28 Places to See Before You Die." The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966 (although the plaque stated 1976). In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects named Fallingwater the "best all-time work of American architecture" and in 2007, it was ranked 29th on the list of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.

I am a big Frank Lloyd wright fan and I studied him extensively and I have all of his books. I have an associate in applied science degree in architectural engineering. I've toured many of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings in River Forest and Oak Park in Illinois. But Fallingwater is one of my favorite places that I've visited. You are at peace and one with nature there. Wright was ahead of his time and was a genius.
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!!
Recently discovered I am related to the original owner of this house… through his mistress. I also love architecture and nature so this is definitely on my bucket list
That is super cool! You must visit! We will have more FLW house walkthroughs soon so you will have to subscribe! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I’ve been through this house twice. So beautiful.
It is amazing! More FLW homes coming on our channel. Make sure to subscribe and Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors! Also check out our new sister channel How To Have Fun Cruising!
He designed every inch with a purpose. You can see in the kitchen an even the bookcase/stairs. Every line and crack has a purpose and matches with something. He also used the sun to light the home to use less electricity.

I lived in Europe most of my life, seen so many architectural beauties. But Fallingwater just did something to me. So beautiful, so suited to the surroundings, such advanced design yet looking as if it grew out of the living rock. I love it best of all the houses I've seen, though the low ceilings were certainly the result of the proportions FLW wanted, not designed for tall people! The bedrooms and bathrooms seems small by today's standards, as everyone mentions, but not for the time it was built. The low walls bordering the outdoor areas look like they wouldn't be places you'd want children near. But all of that comes together in the sculpture of the whole house. Just gorgeous!
Thanks for your feedback. We agree. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I worked for years for one of the most prominent architects in Toronto who turned me on to Frank Lloyd Wright, shout out to Howard Cohen! Shout out to the genius too that is Ronald Soskolne!
Agree! We love FLW Homes and the tour! More FLW homes soon on How To Have Fun Outdoors! Subscribe/Like/Share!
I have a love/hate relationship with Fallingwater. Part of me is in awe of the intricacy of design features, the incorporating of nature, the serenity, the windows. But realistically, I see chipping, signs of water leaks on the walls, cold walls and floors because of the stone. I can't imagine living through the winter here. Like I said...love/hate.
Thanks for your feedback. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors! We will have some more FLW homes out on video this fall
I think the owner jokingly called it “rising mildew”
@@kevinelliott5823 🤣🤣🤣
Keep in mind it was designed as a summer weekend getaway - for an uber wealthy owner that could afford the maintenance, and that seldom visited during the winters.
Agreed. I would be travelling the world so much I would always return to this place as my haven, but I would migrate to a warmer place (northern Italy, south of France) for the winter.
I think this house is more beautiful than the Mona Lisa or any other art work.
Agree! Amazing place!
One of my favorite places as a kid.
We love it! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
This kind of stuff blows my mind. The man was such a visionary.
Agree! Incredible Design! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Fallingwater is genius, Frank Lloyd Wright was genius, I have to get here one day! Thank you kindly and so very much for posting this for all of us to view, this is awesome!

What's more fire.... The house or the flowered dress...Good God man.....geeesh 💪👍 lol
Thanks for watching!!
Woman is absolutely fine lol.....
MY MOM LOVED THIS HOME....IF I COULD ONLY BUILD ONE 😊...ONLY GOD
The Home is Amazing! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I will buy this house in the future (or an exact replica of it on another waterfall). This is my dream.
That would be awesome!!! Thanks so much for watching the video!!!! And Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!!!
The masterpiece of architecture. Great!
It is incredible and worth the visit. Thanks for watching How to Have Fun outdoors!
Its okay
We had to this for drafting class while at school..still have it
I was on a road trip in June of 2019, and I am stopped off and did the tour of "Falling Water." It was truly a beautiful structure. Almost ten years prior I was walking the halls of "Taliesen West." One day I hope stay at a FLR home that is now a vacation rental.
Agree. It is remarkable. We have visited 3 more since then and will be getting videos out on them soon. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I like how they opened up the private rooms of Taliesin West for tours. Had been going there for years and that was a pleasant surprise in 2017
Surprisingly run down looking. Still amazing.

I had to study this house and do a paper on it for my degree. This house was one of his best. What I got confused on was “if there was a waterfall running through the house under a glass floor”? Or was the glass replaced after due to the site becoming “historical” and a liability for people jumping on it.
Great question. Let’s hope someone can answer this one. We loved the home
And design. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors! We will have some more videos on his home coming out soon. So subscribe for more great videos!
Never a glass floor. The stream runs under the first floor canopy which is the largest one. The stream never ran through the house.
Wright's admiration for Japanese architecture was important in his inspiration for this house, and for most of his work. Just like in Japanese architecture, Wright wanted to create harmony between man and nature, and his integration of the house with the waterfall succeeded in doing so.Nov 8, 2021
We agree. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I was a docent in Hollywood at Aline Barnsdall's Hollyhock house and, as instructed, told a group that Mr Wright was likely inspired by Japanese and Mesoamerican designs and got a sharp rebuke for a know-it-all physician & his wife who'd built a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the '40s. Mr Wright had told them that his designs had come completely fresh from his own imagination and he imitated no one. I could feel Mr Wright snickering in the background since he admitted that he'd used those kind of promotional statements as a marketing tool, and Olgivanna said just about the same thing. 😉
Wow, very thorough video, thank you. Should be more than under 600 likes for a video with 37k views!
Agree. CZcams really holds back new channels. With 170 videos and the hourly bar chart is flat during the day is almost statistically impossible. You would think with an Italian, and American, 21 years age difference, and two Yorkies, and serious 4K editing, CZcams would promote the channel. But it looks like everyone is on the same trajectory based on corporate America. As soon as the views go up it caps and goes flat! Help us spread the word on How To Have Fun Outdoors and see if we can break the CZcams chains and get this channel to rock!! I am not going to be a young Italian forever!! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!!!
I really enjoyed your video! I am however watching it after I went there. because of mobility limitations I was not able to go any farther than the first floor. in viewing your video showing the steps/stairways, had I seen your video before I went I may have been able to make the rest of the trip. because I am new to being mobility limited I did not know the right questions to ask, like how to get up the steps where there's no handrails, what is the most steps in a row and what are the height of those steps. I'm providing some feedback to the fallingwater conservancy in order to possibly help other people in a similar situation to make an educated decision about doing the 100 steps. maybe keep in mind in any future videos that you make, to possibly point out any accessibility alternatives that you may see. some of us are moderately limited and with education about alternatives or full information about the challenges. but it is a great video! I do appreciate seeing the upstairs that I was not able to get to. the only option I was given was to sit on the first floor terrace and look at a few photos. they did not have any kind of video of the other areas that I could look at while I was sitting there
.
Thanks for all the feedback. Lots of great information. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I think it's more likely the landmark plaque has the correct date and Wikipedia has a typo.
I agree. But Wiki has been pretty good the last 5 years. It would be good to figure it out. But we think you are correct. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Plaque is 100% correct.
I wonder, if someone was even able to buy this house today, how much they could get it for. Probably cost an insane amount of money to buy all the rights to it and thats even if you could. They might not even let you buy it because of the history behind the house.
You are correct. This house wil most likely never be up for sale again. But it would be in the millions. For sure you can’t build one over a stream anymore. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors! Subscribe for more great videos!
@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors If I had a crazy amount of money I bet I could convince someone to sell it to me, everything has a price 🤣
@@peatard its owned under a conservatorship so the entire point is that its never going to be for sale
Beautiful house and you did a great job on the video 😊. This is my favorite house of Frank Lloyd Wright’s !!!
Thank you so much! We agree. Amazing Home!
Wow this is amazinggg! Def wanna do a vacation over to that area since I enjoy architectural buildings and I loveeee Frank Lloyd
You should! It is awesome! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
And there are lots of other historical architectural treasures to enjoy in nearby Pittsburgh too!
I’ve toured this beautiful place when my daughter was little. I was wondering if it was still standing and open for tours. Wonderful to see.
That is awesome. It is a great place to visit! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
If that house even ends up not still standing, it would be a pity
One of my favorite places on earth.
We love it. We have some more videos coming over the next month of some other FLW homes!! Don’t forget to subscribe to see some more! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
they need to build a replica in Thailand or Indonesia
people will go👍👍
Agree. It is amazing. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
He was a genius.
We agree. The designs are amazing. We have filmed 3 more of his homes and we will try to get the videos out over the next two months.
@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors I can’t wait to see them👍🏻
Both my great grandfathers knew FLW . One was the second owner of the Walser House in the Austin district of Chicago
Super cool! Love facts like this when we post. We will posting more FLW videos soon Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors! Subscribe!!
Thanks for posting! Like your photography, narration & background music. Say, buddy, I think you're kinda fond of that pretty lady in the black dress with the yellow flowers it! 🙂 (actually designed in 1935, construction completed in '38)
Love your post! Thank you!
There is no glass floor. It's solid stone with steps going down to the waterfall.
Thanks for the FYI. And thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!!
It does give the illusion of glass floors here & there, esp the hatch to the stairs going to the creek.
Natural stone, native to the site, and poured concrete.
Legend architect.FLWright.
Agree! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Neat...a house that would probably do pretty good on AirBNB.
Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Thank you for sharing this great video. Can anyone tell me what we're looking at at 14:15?
Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Hi. Love the video and pictures. Your music selection is fitting as well. What is the music at 07:40 thank you.
Thanks so much!! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
It is difficult to process the age of this house.
Agree! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I like this video 💕💕💕💕

Great concept. Getting people to go outside and look at something that changed the world in some way. Kudos. Now me I'm a midcentury and modernist architecture fanatic and the are to other places that would make similar videos. The alan I w Frank house in Pittsburgh and closer to my Baltimore home is 7927 deepwell dr bethesda. John howe a flw taliesin trained architect.just an fyi. Great stills of this house as well. Cheers
Thanks so much for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors! Thank you for the suggestions. We will try to hit those houses when we are in the area! Happy new year!!
@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors I'm an architecture saying first and foremost but I thought what you guys are encouraging people to do get out and look at things I think his Noble and it's more people did that this would be a much better Earth so thank you as well
If you go on a tour, ask the guide how many tens of thousands of dollars they spend each year to attempt to eradicate all the pernicious mold/mildew. Make them really uncomfortable by insisting on an answer. Also, ask the guide why the Kaufmann son couldn't unload the place fast enough when his parents died.
This building like so many other FLW creations (except for the home he built for himself and his family in Oak Park which is beautiful, very comfortable and a lovely house to raise a family) which are paeons to his monumental ego can be summed up succinctly: a great place to visit; a bitch to live in.
I am sure you are correct on maintenance. It is built over a stream. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
What's the piano song at 7:40?
It is std song on Power Director Software. I will have to look it up for you when I pull the file. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Lots of pointless yapping, picture tour (not video) starts around 6:00
No video allowed inside the home. Picture editing took a huge amount of hours. Very difficult video to pull off with all the rules at this home.
9:37 - what are these plants by the sink?
It sure. But I think so. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors Sorry?
for some reason Ive always felt this house was a bit overdesigned and haunting
It is actually pretty awesome. But I can see someone feeling this. Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
I drew the place a long time ago. Now I found the place accidentally on CZcams
Thanks for watching!!
@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors your welcome
How do we go backwards in life ?? Building like this build that far back ? We lost something
Agree. It was amazing! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
The cost of labor and building materials was way significantly less back then. Now to build a home like that would cost millions. Plus there was less building codes and they were less strengent back then.
Every modern architect tries so hard to replicate this design, but they always fall short. It's always to bland and just big empty rooms with windows
Agree! People don’t understand how amazing he was and how long ago he developed these designs. It is 2023, and no one can still match up. More FLW videos coming as soon as Tommy has time to edit.
What a shame to have stampedes of tourists trampling this work of art that is meant to be enjoyed by a family in the middle of the woods.
Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors! Also check out our sister channel How To Have Fun Cruising! We also have some great Africa videos coming out this summer!!
I wonder how much it would cost to remake this house nowadays
For sure a crazy amount of money. However, today it would not be allowed period as it is built over a stream. No way to get a building permit that in the USA anymore. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors Oh wow I did not know that regarding it being built over a stream. Thanks for that information
Pretty cool video overall. Just needs some more ads. :/ 5?
We will have to check on that. Not sure what CZcams is doing to us. Thanks for watching! Check out our new Elvis Graceland video, you will like that also! We put Elvis music in it so no ads! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Im a curious dude.. I googled waterfall house and found this gorgeous house. Amazing upload! Lovely. Im subscribing now!
Thanks bro!
Thanks for the sub! Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Throughout your text and video you repeatedly missstate the date of the design it was actually designed in 1936 and completed in 1939. I first visited when it was less than 20 years old. It was rarely used by the family at that time and you called Kaufman's secretary to get an appointment. Nice video too bad you didn't do the trouble to say where you were instead of playing that awful music. Overall wonderful though.
We actually said designed by Wright in 36 and we added built 39 for you after your message. But if you want to be technical, From 1938 through 1941, more than $22,000 was spent on additional details and for changes in the hardware and lighting. Do the math, $22k in for that time period was a huge amount of money. So you could argue it was not completed till 41. So your 39 is s not exactly correct either. 36 was also the final prints. So we went with that date. But that could be debated also as he had designed the concept before that date. In any case, we try. This is a fun channel. We both have master degrees and we try our best. This video took 3 weeks to edit and it is free to everyone to try to learn about this amazing work. Just trying to help others value the history and architecture vs forget all these amazing historical sites around the world. With this video, hopefully a few people will visit and donate to keep it nice. As far as the video music, this is an older video, we have learned a lot from back then. So I agree. We have improved in that area. Both in selection and volume. Check out our newer videos. Like our new Lion Safari.
And we all know Wikipedia is a more accurate information than the official sign.

Frank was clearly ahead of his time.. until now.. this is still the basis of current modern home designs
Agree! So impressive. Thanks for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Mr Wright opened up the house, transforming it from a structure of many small rooms closed off from each other by doors into an open plan and we benefit from that idea today.
❤️
Thanks for watching!!
By the way you cant build a house over a waterfall these days
This is so true, you are 100 percent correct, and it actually was the first thing Tommy said when we visited the house. Thanks so much for watching How To Have Fun Outdoors!
Too many ridiculous laws and building codes now which restricts ones creativity.
Yes wikipedia should be trusted over a bronze plaque on the site..... seems legit.
Thanks!!
Wikipedia is not correct.
The house was designed in 1936 and built between 1936 and 1939.

@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors like to see other fun outdoor ;-)
The window opening in the desk area was a design mistake corrected by the furniture builders. It was not intentional. Fallingwater is filled with design and structural mistakes.
It was actually presented to us as an argument between the owners and Wright on the size of the desk. In the end they made the desk bigger and created the swing hole for the window.
@@HowToHaveFunOutdoors It's an obvious design mistake.
Maybe you do have good evidence of the desk notch being a mistake. However, given that Wright was 'quirky' (to say the least), I could easily believe he designed it that way. Especially when you look at how the shelves and windows nestle into the stone.
I went through the house decades ago and was thrilled to finally experience in person after having previously only read about it or watched documentaries on it.
One (apocryphal ? ) story: Wright was on the stand as a witness in court. He was asked to state his name and occupation for the record. He said "Frank Lloyd Wright. World's greatest architect." Later, when a friend asked if that answer wasn't a bit much, he replied, " I had to say it; I was under oath."
Not a mistake. Edgar Sr was unhappy with the size of the original design and insisted it be made larger. To accommodate Edgar Sr, Wright redesigned the desk with the opening to accommodate the corner window which swings open. If you look diagonally from that corner to the opposite corner, you will see that Wright designed a bedside table in the shape of the cutout.
I've never understood the worship of Frank Lloyd Wright. He had interesting designs but was a horrible architect. All of his houses had major design problems. Roofs weren't properly supported, Everything leaks, Foundations not properly designed that led to severe structural issues and on and on. Anyone can draw an interesting concept on paper. It's turning that into a design that actually works that makes a great architect. He failed miserably at that.

1976 vs 1966. So you're going with Wiki over the actual plaque at the location? Seems odd.
I know. I wish someone good give us the real answer. They say wiki today is very accurate. But clearly here we have two different dates. Anyone got the answer on this?
FLW would be surprised by all the lard-asses passing through Fallingwater. Amazing.
