Wasn't the house used in The Rocketeer also? There still seem to be people with money out there that could buy this if they really wanted to.

I love his work. And that of his son.

Mark, I take it you live near enough to here?

 

[hailey greenhat]

His structures are so amazing, i love that he had furniture made for the houses

I live several blocks below. I can see it from the top of my building.

What a shame that the house has not been maintained. I sure hope they find their "deep pocket" buyer who will restore this beauty.

Here are some interior photos.

"it was rain that did extensive damage"

A cry uttered by virtually every FLW owner.

Sadly, if no buyer with an endless bank account is found it may end up another derelict structure.

From what I've read & heard from architects, Wright designed homes can be an endless money pit to maintain. SAD because it looks very cool Solid Citizen [huh]

" I Adore this Frank Wright home, once owned by the silent screen Star Ramon Navaro, and in the later years owned by Dianne Keaton who did a splendid restoration job on the property"

Binkie, FLW jr. went by Lloyd Wright.


Interesting backstory on the Samuel-Navarro property.

I think it was. Looking at those interior pictures, it looks a awful lot like 'Neville Sinclair's' house.

Went to the Guggenheim exhibit in NY on Frank Lloyd Wright yesterday.

And being the huge Blade Runner fan that I am, the state of this house and the lack of money in my bank account saddens me.

I'm not sure about L.A. but here in Pennsylvania one of the homes of Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater, was handed over to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and is now open to the public. It was fully restored and the upkeep of the home and lands are funded by the daily tours and admissions. It is absolutely breathtaking!

I wonder if they could do something like this with the one in L.A. if they cannot get a buyer...who knows [huh]
