Kentuck Knob, another Frank Lloyd Wright creation, is only a few miles from Fallingwater. Kentuck k*** is quite a bit different and is still privately owned. Kentuck k*** is one story, designed on a hexagonal module, and described as a Usonian house. The house is set into the mountain and seems almost part of it. The grounds include sculptures throughout that range from an angry wolf, a piece of the Berlin Wall, to abstracts that you can determine for yourself what they are met to be. A short walk from the house provides a view that just is hard to describe it is so panoramic and covers at least three states. The ceilings, furniture and halls again seem to be low in many cases almost like he wants everyone to duck. The geek I am I of course purchased a book and in it one of his colleague's charges that Wright was committing "psychological blackmail upon everyone taller than he", it seems Wright was of a diminutive stature and his idea of human scale aligned closer with his stature. I managed to get Sally another small gift without her catching me.
