The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Fallingwater house, perched over the Bear Run waterfall at Mill Run, Pennsylvania, is an internationally renowned architectural landmark. Fallingwater was entrusted to the Conservancy by Edgar Kaufmann Jr. in October 1963. Included with this gift was more than 460 acres of surrounding land known as Bear Run Nature Reserve, now expanded to more than 5,100 acres. The Kaufmann family became acquainted with the Conservancy when they were involved with the acquisition of Ferncliff Peninsula, which became the cornerstone of Ohiopyle State Park. Received under a deed of trust, the donation requires the Conservancy to preserve and maintain the buildings. Fallingwater's total visitation has surpassed six million guests since it opened to the public in 1964 (Brochure uses 1.5m). Photography in brochure by Harold Corsins, Thomas A. Heinz and Christopher Little. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) is a private nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1932 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. WPC has contributed land to 12 state parks and conserved more than 290,000 acres of natural lands. The Conservancy plants and maintains more than 130 gardens in 20 Western Pennsylvania counties, as well as planting tens of thousands of trees through its community forestry program. WPC has protected or restored more than 3,000 miles of rivers and streams. In 1963, Edgar Kaufmann Jr. entrusted Frank Lloyd Wright's masterwork Fallingwater to the Conservancy. The house was called the most important building of the 20th century by the American Institute of Architects. On July 10, 2019, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Committee inscribed Fallingwater and seven other Frank Lloyd Wright-designed sites to the UNESCO World Heritage List at a meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan. The inscription, The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, to the UNESCO World Heritage List represents the first modern architecture designations in the United States. Single sheet, printed on both sides.
