Western Pennsylvania Conservancy Another chapter of the WPC’s history, and a story in itself, is Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. Voted the most important building of the 20th century in a poll conducted by the American Institute of Architects, this masterpiece was entrusted to the Conservancy by Edgar Kaufmann jr. in October, 1963. Included with this generous gift were 1,543 acres surrounding the wild and beautiful Bear Run. Fallingwater was designed in 1935 for Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar Kaufmann Sr. and was used as a mountain retreat by his family. The Kaufmanns became acquainted with the Conservancy when they were involved with the early acquisition of Ferncliff Peninsula, later to become the cornerstone of Ohiopyle State Park. Their son, Edgar Kaufmann jr., commented on the importance of Fallingwater when he said,

Silver, fractured mirrors, and tin foil were the basic decorating materials loved by early amphetamine users of the sixties. Name covered the whole factory in silver, even the elevator. Warhol's years at the Factory were known as the Silver Era. Warhol Superstars - Wikipedia "Ingrid Superstar" redirects here. For the musician formerly known as Ingrid Superstar, see Frankie Cosmos. Warhol superstars were a clique of New York City personalities promoted by the pop artist Andy Warhol during the 1960s and early 1970s.
