Lloyd Wright’s Henry Bollman Residence in Hollywood Hills

Now on the market: Cultural Historic Monument #235: Lloyd Wright’s Henry Bollman Residence.

By the early 1920’s Lloyd Wright had accumulated experience in theatre, music, landscape, and architectural design.

Working associations with his father, Olmsted & Olmsted, Irving Gill, Rudolph Schindler, and Norman Bel Geddes contributed to his personal vision of a new architecture integrating his total experience.

Here in his second commission, Wright’s vision is expressed through a building system utilizing precast concrete blocks to augment standard construction techniques.

Style elements draw from theatrical and Meso-American precedents which, when translated to the interiors, impart a sense of drama and intimacy.

The massing of the blocks unites ground and structure, as well as imparting a temple-like feeling to the facade.

Anchor of the Sunset Square Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, the Bollman Residence has earned two covers of Architectural Digest, and with the new owner’s improvements could deserve a third.

Best kept deli secret in Highland Park-Monte 52

Image
My wife and I are thrilled to be closing escrow on a Craftsman house in Highland Park next week. I’m a local Realtor and real estate blogger working heavily in the Eastside of Los Angeles neighborhoods from the Hollywood Hills East all the way through Eagle Rock and Pasadena. If you’ve been living under a rock in Griffith Park, you may not know Highland Park is a trendy-hippish up and coming neighborhood which was recently featured in Vogue Magazine naming Highland Park one of the hottest Los Angeles Eastside neighborhoods – how do you like them apples? Of course with relocating to a new hood and vibrant ecosystem, I’ve got to scope out all the hidden gems including asking myself the monumental question, “where do I get a good sandwich”? Normally my expressions of enthusiasm often take the form of wariness swept away, but that’s not the case today. I stumbled upon the most amazing deli – Monte 52! It’s an inconspicuous local secret known for good eats in the ba...

The Path To Financial Freedom

Image
The 4th of July is more than just a day for celebrating the freedom we gained as a nation nearly 250 years ago. It’s a day for celebrating the individual freedom and opportunity afforded to each American — freedom that lets you reach for the stars and create the life you’ve always dreamed of. A part of that freedom means having the financial stability you need to pursue your life goals, and the earlier you secure financial freedom in life, the more opportunity you’ll have to make your dreams a reality. “If there’s anything history has taught us, it’s that homeownership is one of the best ways to build wealth and secure your financial future,” Says Joe Tishkoff.  Here are five primary ways being a homeowner can help you accomplish this: Homeownership can help create a forced savings. Most people aren’t very good at putting money aside each month, but every financial expert would agree that having a savings cushion is essential for financial freedom. For homeowners, a monthly ...
