Taliesen West in Phoenix, AZ and Pope-Leighey House in Alexandria, VA.
When we dropped our son off at Penn State for grad school we drove from Washington across the country right past the entrance to Falling Waters. But we didn’t stop. We were, well, not me, but some people in the car were intent on getting to the University. I’ve regretted their decision ever since…
Happily, we visited Talisen West while we were in Phoenix for Matthias’s wedding. And during the summer while visiting my mom in Maryland, my sisters and I toured the Pope-Leighy House.
I do love Frank Lloyd Wright’s insistence on his philosophy of organic architecture: the harmonious union of art and nature; it’s settling and beautiful.
