US architect Frank Lloyd Wright was born on June 8, 1867.
One of Wright’s most famous private residences was built from 1935 to 1939—Fallingwater—for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr., at Bear Run, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. It was designed according to Wright’s desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings, with a stream and waterfall running under part of the building. The construction is a series of cantilevered balconies and terraces, using limestone for all verticals and concrete for the horizontals. The house cost $155,000, including the architect’s fee of $8,000.
The New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmanment and Arms Control Act was passed in 1987.
A coal tanker, the Pasha Bulker, ran aground in a storm off the Australian coast in 2007.

Should be added for “Falling Water” that the place leaked from the day it was built and has never been successfully waterproofed, and that the main cantilever beams are badly under-specified and the place is in real danger of partial collapse, although I believe repairs have been made. I always regarded FLW as over hyped and under skilled myself, not that it matters.
