The
Fallingwater+ Tour,
Central Pennsylvania
Saturday-Sunday, April 23-24, 2011
Have you always wanted to see Fallingwater,
Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece? Did you know that
just a few miles away, there's another remarkable Wright
house, Kentuck Knob? You will see both. Want to
visit a more recent house by architect
Robert Venturi? No problem. What about
flying to Pennsylvania? It’s all included. Lunches? Yes. Hotel?
You betcha. Ground transportation?
Of course. Wow, that’s incredible! We think so,
too.
Is this amazing trip going to cost a fortune?
Not at all – check out the details below.

Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, Fallingwater: includes the Sunset Tour,
their very best, concluding with a private
reception on the Bridge (weather permitting). |
Kentuck Knob, also by Wright, just down the road from Fallingwater.
Still in private ownership, we'll have a full
tour of the exceptional house some say is
overshadowed by its more famous "sibling." |
The Irving
and Betty Abrams house, Pittsburgh, designed by
Robert Venturi. Interior design by Noel
Jeffrey. No walls separate the home's
kitchen, living room, bars and dining room,
which are all visible as soon as you enter the
first floor. The home's most dramatic feature is
a floor-to-ceiling window that is shaped like a
ship's wheel and cut into eight pieces. |
