"Deer season started exactly when we were to pour the second-floor roof slab, and nobody appeared on the site until each one got his deer. That delayed things several days only. Mr. Wright wanted me back, and E.J. wanted me to stay on the job. I was happy to leave. It was cold (and) a lonesome place, with nobody around after working hours."
- Edgar Tafel, apprentice, on construction at Fallingwater.
