I have been to Fallingwater several times, once on a Packard tour with Art James no less. The noise of the water is not bothersome at all - it's not Niagara. The rooms are a bit small by today's standards. This was a summer home, not a permanent residence. There was no structural problem for many years, but those problems that have occurred are being rectified. The windows in the corners of rooms had steel frames which have now been replaced by (I think) aluminum. It is a marvelous home and truly innovative.
One of the small rooms could probably hold all of Mr. Wright's detractors comfortably.
By the way, Mr James always brings a fifth of a Canadian whiskey which is marvelously smooth, but unfortunately, unavailable in the U.S.
