[Cob] Fallingwater's foundation

[Rob Hayes]

I remember the name Western Pennsylvania Conservancy as the caretaker and repairer 
of Fallingwater when I was out there kayaking the nearby white water rivers a few 
years back.
I enjoyed the short headroom at doorways there, which was great for 5ft. 3 inch Wright 
but must have bloodied the forehead of his 6 ft. plus client.
Also, he had the exposed rock outcropping to build on there.  Fallingwater must suck 
up alot of fuel to heat it in the winter.

Does anyone know what the foundation for Fallingwater was?  I expect I could 
find in in one of the zillion books on Wright.

(That is the famous house built over a stream.  The most usual picture 
rather looks like it was built over a waterfall, but it wasn't--quite.  So, 
can a rubble trench be used where there is moving water, possibility of 
erosion, etc.?)
