Interesting home worth a visit, but is infested with overbearing docents, so beware.

It's the right time, I'm surprised, the scenery is great

Quiet respite for the area. Killer view of the Hollywood Sign, Observatory, DTLA and a.hint of the ocean! Don't miss checking out Hollyhock House. Oh what the excitement must have been like when it was first being built!
HOLLYHOCK HOUSE was Frank Lloyd Wright’s first Los Angeles commission and an ode to California – its freedom and natural beauty. Built between 1919 and 1921 for Aline Barnsdall, the house introduced young architects Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra to Los Angeles. It is a harbinger of California Modernism, which came to include celebrated homes by all three visionaries that continue to impact the direction of residential design. Today, Hollyhock House is owned by the City of Los Angeles and operated by the Department of Cultural Affairs.
