Fallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles (69 km) southeast of Pittsburgh.[4] The house was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, located in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains. The house was designed as a weekend home for the family of Liliane Kaufmann and her husband, Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., owner of Kaufmann’s Department Store,More info:wiki

#10 Flood Topples Statue At Iconic Fallingwater House,More info:wesa.fm
An overflowing stream following heavy rain toppled a large bronze statue at architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania, officials said.
The flooding early Saturday from Bear Run, which flows beneath the National Historic Landmark in Fayette County, toppled a tree that hit a wall and apparently dislodged the “Mother and Child” statue from its place, said Director Lynda Waggoner, of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
The interior of the home wasn’t damaged.
“It’s one of our most significant works here at Fallingwater,” Waggoner said of the Jacques Lipchitz sculpture. “It’s one that the house has come to be identified with. The first view, when you’re on the bridge, looking at the house — it’s right there.”
Waggoner said the statue was submerged in the creek, held up by a chain that was installed after a 1956 flood, but was removed after the water level dropped. It’s being assessed for damage. She said workers would try to repair the wall and move the statue back into place.
