Thanks, Hazzmatt! You caught an oversight. The correct map is now shown, in the much greener setting of Illinois.

Anyone know where to find the addresses of these homes? I'd be interested in looking at them on Google Maps Street View.

I agree! I would love to get the addresses of famous properties to see for myself on Google maps!

Love the idea, but this slideshow demonstrates the problem of just pasting an address into a map search engine. The Eames house is visible in this pic but some distance from your label, the Farnsworth house is only barely within the bottom left frame of the Plano pic, and Fallingwater is ~1/4 mi SW of the Mill Run marker. A little more research -- and closer images -- reveal some fascinating MCM homes.
