The George Sturges House.. Los Angeles, CA..1939..Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright…..
The George Sturges House is a single-family house, designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and built for George D. Sturges in Los Angeles, California. Designed and built in 1939, the one-story residence is fairly small compared to 21st century standards, 1,200 square feet (110 m2), but features a 21-foot panoramic deck. The home is made out of concrete, steel, brick and redwood. Wright hired Taliesin fellow John Lautner to oversee its construction. It is the only structure in Southern California built in the modern style Wright called Usonian design. The house was owned by actor Jack Larson. After his death in 2015 the house was to be put up for auction, with the proceeds to benefit the nonprofit Bridges/Larson Foundation. In February 2016 Los Angeles Modern Auctions announced that no qualified bidder had registered, and it was withdrawn. The house was designated as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1993.
