As some of you already know, I do admire architecture - I have seen the Parthenon- amazing despite the destruction and deterioration- and Fallingwater, a Frank Lloyd Wright home near Pittsburgh http://www.fallingwater.org/2/visit.If you don't want to travel that far from Canada, Buffalo also has a number of Frank Lloyd Wright homes. Wright was one of the giants of 20th century architecture. If you have the chance, Fallingwater is definitely a gem worth the visit. Plan for a whole day since the house, a country home is not in an urban area. (Suggestion: stay at the Priory, a former religious order's home in Pittsburgh.)
A number of years ago, we had the opportunity to visit the home with friends and it was a wonderful trip. Wright not only designed homes for his clients but all the furnishings for the homes as well. He designed a complete look. It is a aesthetic that will always stay in style and his early designs were part of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Hope that you have the opportunity to see some of his homes.
