Walter J Hall, the master stonemason who worked on Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, built Lynn Hall in 1934 on a wooded hillside above Pennsylvania’s Allegheny River Valley. He acted as his own client, using the same stonework techniques that would later become associated with Fallingwater. Nearly a century on, his family home retains much of its original character, including built-in furniture and cabinetry designed as part of the architecture rather than added afterwards.

The main house centres on a double-height living room and is joined by two guest suites incorporated within the building. A detached cottage sits elsewhere on the eight-acre site, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Today, Lynn Hall operates as a guest retreat, but its significance lies in its connection to one of the most celebrated chapters in American architecture. While Fallingwater made Hall’s craftsmanship famous, this was his own house: a stone-built mountainside home that remains remarkably intact. It’s listed for $2.7 million with Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty.
