Kentuck Knob
A hexagonal house called 'Usonia' designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in his later years, built into a hillside with outdoor sculptures scattered through the woods.
The house was completed in 1956, built of local sandstone and redwood. Its spaces are organized in hexagonal modules, and the roof overhangs blend into the ridge. It is quieter and more understated than Fallingwater. The guided tour takes about an hour and costs about 30 US dollars. Afterwards, you can walk the sculpture trail through the woods to see works by Andy Goldsworthy and others, and enjoy views over the Youghiogheny Valley. Kentuck Knob is about 15 minutes' drive from Fallingwater, and the two are often visited on the same day. Reservations are required in advance.
