Fallingwater is the house over the waterfall — Frank Lloyd Wright's 1935 masterpiece for the Kaufmanns, the cantilevered concrete trays over Bear Run that the AIA called the best all-time work of American architecture. The Kaufmanns lived there 26 years; the world has been visiting since 1964.
The house was the integration — Wright's 'live with the waterfall' instead of looking at it, the sandstone quarried on site, the hatch that opens to stairs down to the stream. The son's Taliesin apprenticeship brought the architect; the department-store fortune bought the building.
The house is still there — the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's museum, the 5 million visitors, the UNESCO World Heritage listing. The file keeps the house: the 1935 design, the cantilevers over the falls, and the building that's organic architecture's summit.
Fallingwater is the archive's Wright file — the house over the waterfall, the Kaufmann commission, and the building that's American architecture's best.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Fallingwater is the archive's Wright file — the waterfall house, the organic summit, and the building that's the AIA's best.
A house over a waterfall keeps its cantilevers — the file's suggestion being that Fallingwater's hold is the integration: the trays over Bear Run, the hatch to the stream, and the building that's Wright's masterpiece.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported a presence in the house. The house's rooms are where the accounts concentrate — old houses keep their stories in the walls they were built around. The reports are anecdotal — consistent enough to record, thin enough to stay unproven. 'Fallingwater' carries the account. It is the sighting the place is known for, and it hasn't stopped.
