Polymath Park

Local namePolymath Park
LocationUnited States

Polymath Park is a 125-acre resort 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, in the Laurel Highlands of Western Pennsylvania.

The site, near the village of Acme in Westmoreland County, is surrounded by private forest in the Allegheny Mountains and features four architectural landmarks: Frank Lloyd Wright's Donald C. Duncan House and R. W. Lindholm Residence, and two others by Peter Berndtson, who was one of the original Wright apprentices. The park is near Wright's Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. Duncan House and Lindholm House are the only Wright houses in the area that accommodate overnight visitors.

Berndtson's 1962 master plan for Polymath Park allowed for 24 dwellings, each sited in a circular clearing in the forest. Only two houses, however, were actually built: the Balter House in 1964 and the 1965 Blum House.
