A Day in Pennsylvania
Fallingwater/Shanksville

by Nicholas Momurray

1. Fallingwater
After years of thinking about it, finally Fallingwater.

A foggy October morning found me on the backroads of southeastern Pennsylvania, headed for an 8:30 a.m. tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic house. (Reservations are required; there are two tours, a short one with no cameras allowed and a complete tour with cameras allowed. You can find out more here.)

As Mary McCarthy observed on arriving in Venice: It seems that just about everything that can be said about the place has been said.

I'll only add this: The house, photogenic as it is, looks even better in person.
