Frank Lloyd Wright homes are not only rare but also come with substantial maintenance challenges. Recently, Fallingwater, one of his most renowned designs, faces a staggering $7 million repair cost due to leaks resulting from its unique construction over a waterfall. This figure is astonishingly 40 times greater than the original building cost. Furthermore, maintaining intricate features like the glass windows can take days, revealing the significant effort and expense involved in preserving such architectural masterpieces.
It turns out that, according to reporting done by The Wall Street Journal, the cost of the repairs are 40 times as expensive as it cost to build the home in the first place.
In some Frank Lloyd Wright homes, dusting the more intricate glass window work is an endeavor that can take days, requiring tools as delicate as a Q-tip.
