Falling Water was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. In 1991,  American Institute of Architects named the house the "best all-time work of American architecture" and in 2007, it was twenty-ninth on the list of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.   Here is an approximate model in the virtual world of Kitely, a model you can walk into and explore.

The iconic approach

Fallingwater reproductions have been built several times in Second Life, but the cost of space has proved to be too high to keep them on display.

All approach views are impressive
