Repair bill to save Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Fallingwater house built in 1937 above a waterfall in southwestern Pennsylvania at costs of $148,000 (equivalent to around $3.2 million in today’s currency): $7 million
Fallingwater's previous major restoration work, carried out between 1998 and 2002, addressed the sagging of the house's distinctive cantilevers. (Photo: Daderot/Wikimedia Commons)
