REMINDER OF DAYS GONE BY - UNIQUE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT'S FALLING WATER DEPICTED ON 1982 POSTAGE STAMP

Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous and beautiful Falling Water property in Pennsylvania was depicted on a postage stamp in a 1982 “American Architecture” series.  

The house was designed in 1934, partly built over a waterfall in Bear Run, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.  Time Magazine called it Wright’s “most beautiful job” at that time, and Smithsonian Magazine has the property on a Life List of 28 places “to visit before… it’s too late.”  

 In 1966 it was designated a National Historic Landmark and in 1991, American Institute of Architects members named the house, the “best all-time work of American architecture”.  In 2007 AIA has it ranked 29^th on the list of America’s Favorite Architecture.  Tours are available and there is a Gift Shop on the premises.
