Wright, Lloyd, Home and Studio
historic place
The Lloyd Wright Home and Studio is a historic place in West Hollywood, California. Architect Lloyd Wright, the eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed and built this two-story structure in 1927. He lived and worked here from 1927 until his death in 1978. The building showcases Wright's unique Mayan Revival design style. Its exterior features distinctive patterned concrete blocks, arranged in interlocking patterns, that incorporate a stylized Joshua tree motif. These blocks were a variation of the "textile block" system. The ground floor studio served as a laboratory for Wright's design ideas and a showcase for clients. From this location, he designed important structures, including the Wayfarers Chapel and the Hollywood Bowl band shell. The property was designated a Historic-Cultural Monument by the city of Los Angeles in 1974. It was later added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 6, 1987. The Lloyd Wright Home and Studio exemplifies Lloyd Wright's architectural contributions to Southern California.
