]]>Fallingwater
90 miles east of Pittsburgh in Mills Run is arguably the most famous of all of Wright’s works: Fallingwater. Built in 1939, this house was ahead of its time and incorporates the rushing water of the stream upon which it sits into its design. Interior and exterior tours are offered.
Beth Sholom Synagogue
Elkins Park outside of Philadelphia is the home of one of Wright’s last projects, the Beth Sholom Synagogue which was built and designed to evoke a modern twist on ancient temples. Designated as a National Historic Site, tours can be arranged and booked online.
Kentuck Knob
Another home located in the highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania, Kentuck Knob has a hexagon floor plan and appears to blend into the mountain itself upon which it is built. Part of Wright’s “Usonian” series, this was meant to be a model for a home that an average American could live in in the 1930s.

]]>Back in Time
With an eye to design, each facet of the Ranstead Room has been made to look like it is in the 1920s. There is only room for 45 patrons, and finding the door to the bar itself can be tricky. If you persevere and look behind the El Rey building you will find it.
Tuck yourself into one of the wooden booths, and grab a signature cocktail from the bar—the Midnight City and the Dancing in the Dark are particularly good. There is also a small finger menu that patrons of the bar can snack on if they don’t feel like leaving the shadowy comfort of the speakeasy.
