It's Kentuck Knob (typo I'm sure) and it is worth the short drive away from FW, perhaps 1/2 hour or so, on pretty, twisty western PA roads. The Robie House card model is also a bit fiddly in fit.
Schreiber make 1:300 kit of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC which appears to be okay.

Hello,
I have a model of the Robie House from Uitgeverij Thoth M 1:60.
I built it years ago. Quite a lot of work, as all the windows are recessed.

Why hasn't no one ever redone a model of Falling Water? I could only find the 1 model online. Seems dated and about due for some "restoration"!!!!

You will find more pictures of a scratch built Falling Water on my Flickr collection. Done by a Dutch architect, based on publicly available drawings and photographs. Of course I tried to interest the Falling Water Foundation, but they flatly refused any type or form of cooperation. I know for a fact that Paper Landmarks also tried to get permission - same short answer: no. Strange attitude...

re falling water

i am surprised no one has tackled this!
it is one of the most amazing structures anywhere anytime
there are professional models such as the ZMoma and others and that toy
id like to give it a go
but will need a lot of advice
i have sketch up
but it doesn't seem to be suited to making a realistic model of falling water
such as the stone walls need to have the texture
and then there is the building of those awesome boulders and the falls
and vegetation
as for those negative comments
compared to the routine destruction.clean and fill for example
it wasn't such a bad build
actually very little of the original site was disturbed and the stream was also mostly unaffected
oh yeah today we have prestressed concrete
he may have made mistakes but that was because his design was ahead of technology
