Falling Water is cool. I

[UCGal]

Falling Water is cool. I saw it about 15 years ago – before the shut it down and beefed it up, structurally. It’s a long drive from Philly, though… we spent the night in Pittsburgh when we went.

In the Philly area there are some other cool architectural sites.
– The Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park (just north of Philly) is a Wright design. You can take the R1,R3,or R5 train to the Elkins Park SEPTA station. They do tours by reservation.

– The Thomas Edison Home in Orange NJ is a cool house tour. You can also tour his labs, etc.

– The Emlen Physick Estate tour in Cape May is cool. Mansion was designed by Frank Furness – a big time Philly architect.

– I assume you know about the Strawberry Mansion tours in Fairmount Park.

If you’re only interested in modern homes, there’s a Philly realtor, Craig Wakefield, who has a website about Philly modern homes.

I geared my reply towards Philly since I know you spend time there and Falling Water is in the same state (although other end.)

Locally there’s the Marston House, Whaley house, etc.
