We visited Fallingwater 3 or 4 times, but never got around to driving to Kentuck Knob. Your tour has shown me what we missed. Thanks for taking care of another FLW masterpiece.
Wow that's fantastic! That must have been such a special place to live. And yes, Tim was a fantastic host and guide. We are so thankful for his help with this episode. THANKS FOR WATCHING!
A distinctive philosophy of his was that man should not dominate a summit but reside just below- a very intuitive and moral model of operation, to be commended.
Definitely recommended. Thanks for watching! (And thanks for not being upset we couldn't show more. We were lucky they were so generous with what they *could* show.)
O.K. Maybe this time I'll wrap my mind arround why Frank Lloyd Wright made openings in some of his extended eves . Aren't they supposed to protect against sun glare heat and rain ? Well it has dawned perhaps his eve extensions beyond the aforementioned concerns are now signature aesthetic planes within XYZ .
This one was not a typical Wright project, as the Hagans were wealthy and practically doubled the size of his usual Usonian houses. With that in mind, I'd imagine a typical design of his houses would still be out of reach for the middle class of today. Haha.
FLW simply had no sense of economics. He could not even really afford the house he was living in himself. Taliesin East was built with a loan from a once wealthy friend and that loan was never reimbursed.
The FLW houses you hear of were never for the middle class. They sold this one for hundreds of thousands when the middle class was spending about $40k for a family home.
“Lord” in the UK, is little more than a courtesy title. And in United States, the title is meaningless, pompous, presumptuous, and decidedly unAmerican.

Thanks for watching! Hope you can make it there someday, it's a wonderful place.
Thank you two for the tour. It was fun to join you through the walk. I hope to see this beautifull building life :)
Thanks so much for watching! It's so magical in person, I hope you make it there someday. Thank you so much for watching!
Tim's tour was entertaining and educational. My mother told me that she lived in s Frank Lloyd Wright house in Vallejo, California during World War 2.

Very entertaining and aimed nucely at an audience unfamiliar with Mr Wright and his Work...very approachable...thank you...dgp/uk
Appreciate this feedback and so glad you enjoyed the show. THANK YOU!!
Very nice video and teaser of the house. When I went to Fallingwater many years ago, I wasn't able to visit this house but it's on my list to return.
Definitely recommended. Thanks for watching! (And thanks for not being upset we couldn't show more. We were lucky they were so generous with what they *could* show.)
it’s awesome that frank was inspired by Native American architecture from specifically Mayan and you can see it in “usonian” work as well many others
One of His best usonians !!
Enjoyed the tour, was there many years ago.
Thank you! Great presentation.

Looking back from 2024, it is really ironic that Frank Wright thought that the American middle class could afford such a house. 😫

Restroom's ? Bedroom's ?
They were very interesting too! Check them out on a tour and let us know what you think! franklloydwright.org/taliesin-west-tours/
too much talking about things that are not about the way the WRIGHT house handles the way of LIFE
Ivy is an awful, invasive plant that would have chewed up the building’s grout.
One hell of a structure. Shame that its not used. All this gimmicky bs is not necessary
What gimmicky bs?
