Angelina Jolie gave Brad Pitt a unique early gift for his birthday -- a trip to Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, Fallingwater. The couple visited the famous home in Pennsylvania on Thursday and took a two-hour guided tour before having a private birthday party in Fallingwater's living room.
"Brad said he had wanted to experience Fallingwater ever since he took an architectural history course in college," said Cara Armstrong, the house's curator of education to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
"He and I talked quite a bit about design and art. He was incredibly well informed about architecture."
Armstrong told the paper the couple were "very gracious and very engaged in the house. As we say in the Midwest, you could tell their mothers raised them right."
The famous house located in Fayette County, Pa. is about 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Franklin Lloyd Wright designed the home to be built over the wooded Mill Run creek.
"Brad said he had a visual sense of Fallingwater," Armstrong told the Post-Gazette, "but experiencing it in person, hearing the sound of the waterfall cascading under the house and smelling the wood from the fireplace was better than anything he could have imagined."
After the tour, the couple enjoyed a private celebration in the the living room with champagne and caviar. The couple later invited the staff to join them in the celebration of Pitt's upcoming birthday.
According to the paper, Jolie told staff members, "He's so hard to buy for."
