The rear of the box provides a preview of the model’s puzzle-like construction, which I’ll discuss later in the review. It also includes a brief summary of both Fallingwater and architect Frank Lloyd Wright, plus the only image of Fallingwater itself, the famous “downstream” view of the waterfall and the home. The Instructions Fallingwater is one of the six original sets in the LEGO Architecture series. Released in 2009, it’s the largest of the originals with 811 pieces. To this day it remains one of the largest sets in the series, ranking 9th out of the 64 Architecture sets. The first segment is placed immediately onto the base, with only a single stud required to hold it in place.

After Fallingwater was deeded to the public, three carport bays were enclosed at the direction of Kaufmann Jr. to be used by museum visitors to view a presentation at the end of their guided tours on the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (to which the home was entrusted). Kaufmann Jr. designed its interior himself to specifications found in other Fallingwater interiors by Wright. Wright designed the home above the waterfall: Kaufmann had expected it to be below the falls to afford a view of the cascades. [16] [17] It has been said that he was initially very upset with this change. [12] W]hy did the client say that he expected to look from his house toward the waterfall rather than dwell above it?" Edgar Kaufmann Jr., Fallingwater: A Frank Lloyd Wright Country House, New York: Abbeville Press, p. 31. ( ISBN 0-89659-662-1) The main house was completed in 1938 and the guest house was completed the following year. [22] Cost [ edit ]
