Dana House

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in the 1900's. There where restrictions on the way the building was to be designed and it is also very grand. There was a lot of money spent on the building of this building. This house was a showcase for Wright's Prairie Style. It reflected Susan Lawrence Dana's flamboyant personality and Dana's and Wright's mutual love of Japanese prints and drawings. The house was designed for display and entertainment. An arched doorway admitted guests into a series of expanding spaces, the vestibule and reception hall.

Falling Water

Another building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The structural design for Fallingwater was undertaken by Wright in association with Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters who had been responsible for the design of the revolutionary columns. At the time of its construction, the house cost a total of $155,000. Broken down as follows: house $75,000, finishing and furnishing $22,000, guest house, garage and servants quarters $50,000, architect's fee $8,000. Accounting for inflation, this translates to about $2.3 million in 2007 dollars
