A significant part of Los Angeles’ storied architectural history, Hollyhock House - a National Historic Landmark - was one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s magnificent masterpieces marking his first foray into architecture in Los Angeles.

Underscoring its importance as one of the world’s architectural gems,

The recently completed restoration is an important historical revelation for first-time visitors and regulars alike.

The latest phase of renovation took place from 2008 though 2014, with a total of $4,359,000 spent on conservation efforts.
