Barnsdall Art Park



A Frank Lloyd Wright home (The Hollyhock House), the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre, and a sculpture garden all rest on top of this hill at the edge of Hollywood. Its affairs are run by the city's Cultural Affairs Department with the idea the park should be used to celebrate art, and indeed it does. For more info check: http://www.barnsdallartpark.com/

Ennis Brown House


Frank Lloyd Wright's largest textile block home in Los Angeles was "finished" in 1924. But, due to a number of structural damages, the house still requires an estimated $10 million in repairs. A small non-profit tried to restore the house. Unfortunately, their pocket was too small and the house has been put up for sale for private ownership at a mere $15 million.
