I have to be honest. I thought this was going to be completely boring at first. It actually gets more interesting and fascinating for every minute of the video that goes by. ⭐🌟💯
By the way, there is a large, new electrical feed which powers a large water heater for the central heating. There is a question I forgot to ask on my tour- how were water and electrical supplied the original design? The guest swimming pool is fed by the stream, but how did the house get water pressure and electricity? Wright scholars?
Another wonderful video of the many of Pittsburgh's area hidden treasures. I hope this prompts more people to visit this institute and learn about this great local citizen, who brought so much joy and kindness in to this world. Plus, in the meantime, it helped bring the great city of Pittsburgh in to the national spotlight.
Why on earth would anyone want to toss away such a rich piece of history!!! i know some historical pieces can become gawdy and out of place depending on where and what it is but this is literally a piece of medical history in a freaking HOSPITAL great job on the President for protecting it
My dad went to Sacred Heart school with Joe George. Joe was one of Dad’s very best friends and he would take my dad to the factory to feast on broken cones. It was a very special childhood memory. Dad told us about this adventure so when I saw this video I sent it to him. He is about to turn 90 so this brought back many sweet memories of his dear old friend. Wonderful job. Thank you.
Wow, you do learn something new each and every day. I did not know, Joy cones, was made just outside of Pittsburgh. I just saw them at a Walmart here in Las Vegas and now feel a little bit of the "Burg" out here in the heat. Keep up the great job!!
Loved this video and again, admire this channel for highlighting and celebrating all the many historical and artistic Pittsburgh treasures! So many of the city's population walk by these locations, not seeing or relishing their glorious past history.
I heard a story that the contractor who built Falling Water implored FLW to add more rebar to the structure, but Wright refused. So the contractor did it himself on his own dime without telling Wright. He was worried it still wasn’t enough, but he did what he could do. Turns out he was correct.

I love the low ceilings. So many houses today are built like cathedrals with ceilings 50 ft above your head (exaggeration, I know). The lower ceiling is more energy efficient and are much cozier and homier.
Thank you so much for making this video!! There is such a lack of transparency with this process, and if the public were more informed they could be much better recycling partners. People also need to understand what can't be, or isn't, recycled, and needs to be avoided in the first place.
Masterpiece. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, right. It's hideous, the engineering is atrocious, and the design guarantees that the structure will always fight mildew and rot. The entire house wants to fall in on itself, so requires constant, very expensive maintenance. Yes, if you think that's genius, you are a complete idiot.
You know it’s a new generation taking over when the reporter says “so Bonerobo”…now I have to Google that because I am old and I don’t know what that means. Is it like a hip concert like Coachella? Boneroo? Wft
Hi Lou! Great Video!! Next time I’m there I want to try some Grappa Blends. I went to school on your video! What great exposure for Giant Oaks! BTW Andy Yalch here.
CMU, one of the many great universities that helps put Pittsburgh in the national spotlight. Interesting video and went to Central Catholic and used to stare out of the window and looking at this beautiful campus. I am showing my age, but went with my friend to that Parker buttons store in the Jenkins Arcade, when more people back then made their own clothes. Keep up the great work.
I was hoping to learn about the boiler location, it’s size, the heating fuel tank, it’s size; the fuel oil delivery, how it fit in that drive behind the house, how it would come to deliver and how often. Was there a septic field, a leach pit; where was the electrical in 1935; was there a well and a tank for storing potable water? Was there someone staying there to make sure the pipes didn’t freeze?
When my son was at Carnegie Mellon in the exploded ensemble, they performed a multimedia event in the entire library. I have a video clip to share, but I'm not sure how.
