LLOYD WRIGHT'S SOWDEN HOUSE

 Lloyd Wright's, (son of frank lloyd wright) amazing Sowden House on Franklin ave in Los Feliz, (two blocks from where i live) is on the market..... again!

Originally constructed in 1926,  It seems the house is haunted, as is much of hollywood. Many historians, (including myself) believe the murder and dissection of   Elizabeth Short, aka The Black Dahlia, might have occurred in the basement

. Whatever the case, its a spectacular piece of architecture.  According to the broker, it is recognized as one of the Architects most important works with extensive use of textile block creating the iconic Mayan style facade. The home reflects Wright's philosophies as a landscape architect, emphasizing the elements of nature in an open floor plan where every room communicates via the central courtyard. Extensive restorations from 2002-09 by Xorin Balbes, the home now accommodates modern living while preserving the Architects master work.
