Hollyhock House

The first project built in Los Angeles by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Mayan revival style Hollyhock house was commissioned by oil heiress/arts patroness Aline Barnsdall in 1919. Part house, part garden, Wright called his creation "California Romanza", emphasizing the flow of indoor-outdoor spaces to take advantage of L.A'.s warm climate. Decorated with pergolas, colonnades, moats, rooftop terraces offering spectacular views, and perhaps the world's first built-in entertainment center, the Hollyhock house is a perfect example of the freedom Los Angeles has always offered to architects longing to stretch their wings. A visit to the Hollyhock house is a must for architecture buffs, and anyone who appreciates creative design and unique living spaces. In 2007 it was designated a National Historic landmark, which makes it unique among museums in Hollywood. Due to current construction, check their website for times and details of their docent-led tours. The Hollyhock house is on the grounds of Barnsdall Art Park, which features galleries, art classes for children and events such as outdoor movies and Friday Night wine tastings. www.hollyhockhouse.net
