{{cquote|The ceilings inside Fallingwater drop from a maximum of 9ft to a rather stooping 6ft 4in.

William Wesley Peters, one of Wright's associates, was well over 6ft tall. Wright once told him: "Sit down, Wes, you're ruining the scale of my architecture."<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2001/sep/10/artsfeatures</ref>}}
