Sowden House (II)

Although his father ultimately abandoned textile block construction, Lloyd Wright employed patterned concrete blocks in a number of his own designs.

This is a detail of the cavelike front entrance of the house.

The fortess-like exterior of the Sowden house hides a private courtyard which can be glimpsed very briefly during a party scene in L.A. Confidential

02/18/2001 - Samuel-Novarro House (1928), Lloyd Wright, Architect

5609 Valley Oak Drive
Los Feliz/Hollywood Hills, CA

Built for Louis Samuel and later owned by Ramon Novarro, the Samuel-Novarro house is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright™, Senior.

Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr.) built a successful practice in Los Angeles after coming here to supervise his father's few Los Angeles projects in the 1920's.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

02/09/2001 - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1959. Frank Lloyd Wright™, Architect.

1071 5th Avenue (at 89th Street), New York, NY

My brief visit to the Guggenheim museum was a fitting end to my first trip to New York City; I didn't get to view any of the museum collections, but seeing the building itself was the real reason I went in the first place.
