Fallingwater Rising is a biography not of a person but of the most famous house of the twentieth century. Scholars and the public have long extolled the house that Frank Lloyd Wright perched over a Pennsylvania waterfall in 1937, but the full story has never been told. When he got the commission to design the house, Wright was nearing seventy, his youth and his early fame long gone. It was the Depression, and Wright had no work in sight. Into his orbit stepped Edgar J. Kaufmann, a Pittsburgh department-store mogul–“the smartest retailer in America”–and a philanthropist with the burning ambition to build a world-famous work of architecture. It was an unlikely collaboration: the Jewish merchant who had little concern for modern architecture and the brilliant modernist who was leery of Jews. But the two men collaborated to produce an extraordinary building of lasting architectural significance that brought international fame to them both and confirmed Wright’s position as the greatest architect of the twentieth century. Fallingwater Rising is also an enthralling family drama, involving Kaufmann, his beautiful cousin/wife, Liliane, and their son, Edgar Jr., whose own role in the creation of Fallingwater and its ongoing reputation is central to the story. Involving such key figures of the l930s as Frida Kahlo, Albert Einstein, Henry R. Luce, William Randolph Hearst, Ayn Rand, and Franklin Roosevelt, Fallingwater Rising shows us how E. J. Kaufmann’s house became not just Wright’s masterpiece but a fundamental icon of American life. One of the pleasures of the book is its rich evocation of the upper-crust society of Pittsburgh–Carnegie, Frick, the Mellons–a society that was socially reactionary but luxury-loving and baronial in its tastes, hobbies, and sexual attitudes (Kaufmann had so many mistresses that his store issued them distinctive charge plates they could use without paying). Franklin Toker has been studying Fallingwater for eighteen years. No one but he could have given us this compelling saga of the most famous private house in the world and the dramatic personal story of the fascinating people who made and used it. A major contribution to both architectural and social history.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xxviii. Old Graveyards And Cemeteries. In Deed Book B, page 140, under date of August 6, 1791, is recorded a deed by which Jacob Beeson and Elizabeth, his wife, conveyed to David Jennings, Jacob Murphy, Samuel Stevens, Jonathan Rowland and Peter Hook, trustees of the Methodist Episcopal church at Uniontown, and their successors in office, for the sum of five shillings, the lots laid off in " Jacob's Addition" known as Nos. 27 and 28, bounded on the south by Peter street, extending eastward and westward on said street one hundred and forty-five feet and running back one hundred and fifty feet. Most of the frontage of these lots was laid off for a burying ground and lots were sold for interment, and members of the foremost families of the town and vicinity and useful members of society were here buried under the shadow of the little church in which they loved to worship. Several ministers of the gospel here rest awaiting the resurrection morn, and several who fought in defense of their country sleep here. Doubtless this ground was used for burial purposes before the date of the deed as one tombstone still standing and in good condition testifies. The following is a very incomplete list of the persons buried in the old Methodist Episcopal burying ground, as it is impossible to identify those whose graves have no markers, and some of the stones have become entirely illegible, while others have been removed when the bodies were removed: A brief mention of some of the former citizens of the town in its early history is attached. Alexander, Anna, died March 25, 1833, in 69th year. Adams, John S., died October 20, 1843, age 19 months, 20 days. Addis% Elizabeth, died October 28, 1832, age 72 years. Beebee, Alexander, died March 19, 1818, ...
