FallingwaterFor all you creative types out there, we are not talking your average Hallmark pretty gingerbread house, but one made by actual architects and architecture students that recreate famous Pennsylvania buildings such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater (yes, the blue is falling water).

 

Here is John Haviland's Eastern State Penitentiary in Eastern StatePhiladelphia by Drexel University students. 

Last year, University of Pennsylvania students recreated Frank Furness’ Fisher Fine Arts Library in gingerbread.

All these pieces of art came from suggestions made in a post by

Pennsylvania Historic Preservation

Just gorgeous, Carolyn. We have our gingerbread house competition in my area this week... those, too, are works of art.

These competitions seem to be a big thing everywhere. Spread the joy around, I guess!
