HOLLYHOCK REOPENS—Guest Blog by Eric Garcetti, Mayor, City of Los Angeles—In case you
missed the great news recently, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock residence in
Barnsdall Art Park, Los Feliz, will be re-opening Feb. 13 after being restored
to its original splendor after a three-year restoration.
The public will be allowed to tour
the house for free for all 24 hours in the first day of re-opening beginning 4
pm on Feb. 13 (closing 11 am Feb. 14) so they can enjoy its beauty around the
clock. Hope to see you there!

FYI: Hollyhock House is Frank
Lloyd Wright’s first Los Angeles project. Built between 1919 and 1921, it
represents his earliest efforts to develop a regionally appropriate style of
architecture for Southern California. Wright himself referred to it as California
Romanza, using a musical term meaning “freedom to make one’s own form”.
