Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater"
A Hyper Detailed Architectural Model

"America's Leading Scale Model Builder / Architectural Models 'Fallingwater' Display Model" is the best visual depiction of Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater" that I've seen. And I'm something of a fan of Wright's work.

Aside from the artistry involved in creating this "museum-quality" model, photos on this page, from many angles and distances, show the complex three-dimensional design of this house at least as well as illustrations in 'serious' architectural texts. "Museum-quality" isn't, in my opinion, an exaggeration in this case.

The model is roughly two feet on a side, and on display at Architectural Models, in Norman, Oklahoma. They're selling a limited number of copies, and the price is "inquire." That translates into my dialect as "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."

Finally, I was surprised to find Toad, of "Frog and Toad are Friends," lounging against a terrace, his left arm resting on the terrace edge, in one photo. It struck me as a charmingly whimsical detail. Then I noticed that Toad's head was a decorative vase: see if you can see the same figure.
