Some new shots! These pics were to sent to me by Chicago Auto Pros in Glen Ellyn, IL. They finished a full detail and applied C. Quartz ceramic paint protection.
^ Pics of house? I mean, I've seen pics of it... just wondering if you got any good ones
Careful what you ask for.... :wink:
Fallingwater (aka the Kaufmann House), c. 1936
View from across "Bear Run" stream, where the Kaufmann's originally thought the house would be built.
View from the driveway bridge, leading to the house's main entrance...
Back side of the house, where the limo driver would drop guests at the main entrance (on left), before proceeding up the driveway to the garage (located further up the hill).
View of the great room upon immediately entering the house.
Telescoping windows leading to stairs down to the stream, off of the great room....
Main seating area in the great room with telescoping windows and stairs down to stream on the left.
Terrace off the third floor, on the back side of the house
View of the first and second floor terraces from the third floor terrace on the back side of the main house.
Pathway off the back of the main house (on right) leading up to the guesthouse (further up the hill).
Facing uphill (away from the main house) towards the guest house.
View of the path linking to the main house, shot from the main entrance to the guest house (on right)
Main entrance of the guest house (on right) and bedroom (in back)
View from within sitting room of the guest house (
Looking into the sitting room of the guest house (bedroom is at my back).
Three-car garage (bays on lower level) and servants quarters (second level)
Bonus: The "Kentuck Knob" (aka Hagen House), c. 1953--located about 15 miles from Fallingwater. (The Hagen family were friends with the Kaufmann's.)
Whereas Fallingwater embodied Wright's notions of "organic" architecture, Kentuck Knob is a classic example of Wright's "Usonian" model for residential dwellings. Everything in the house was based upon a hexagonal pattern, instead of the typical rectangle. Unfortunately, no photos of the interior were permitted.
Views from the front courtyard (car park in center, storage area to left, main sleeping areas on right)
Car park to left, sleeping area in center, main entrance at center right, stone structure protruding from roof at left is chimney for fireplace in master bedroom; stone structure protruding from roof at right is the hexagonal kitchen, main sitting room is to far right.
Again, car park to far left, sleeping area at center left, main entrance at center, stone structure protruding from roof at center is the hexagonal kitchen (which is the core of the house's layout), main sitting room is to far right.
View from the rear terrace, main sitting room to the right, back yard to the left.
Another view from the rear terrace, back yard on the right, dining room is to the left, inside of the open windows. View of the valley can be seen through the trees.
Rear courtyard: door to dining room and rear terrace is on left
Rear courtyard: the wing of the house containing the sleeping areas (bedrooms) is built into the hill with a water feature ("little Fallingwater") at center right. Stone structure protruding from roof is chimney for a fireplace in the master bedroom.
Must of missed where you picked up the Alpina but it looks great. I have always loved the way they looked with the wheels and the little extra aero bits.
No prob, I must have missed when you posted this.... thanks, I have been enjoying it greatly. Since picking it up on May 10th, I have put on 9500 miles. It is a super highway car and just eats up the miles like nothing. Done several road trips and this is what I got it for.
Delivery day at Lindsey Cadillac in VA four years ago today, it feels like yesterday.. Drove it back to NY with my oldest son who has basically taken ownership of it...
