Property Description

First offering since 1983. City of Los Angeles Cultural Historic Monument #235, The Henry O. Bollman Residence, 1922 by architect Lloyd Wright. Wright's personal vision of a new American architecture is expressed here with an innovative building system utilizing pre-cast concrete blocks to structurally & decoratively augment standard building methodologies. The style draws from theatrical and Mesoamerican precedents imparting a dramatic temple-like feeling of intimacy. By the time Designer Mimi London came upon the property it had fallen into disrepair. London's work to renovate and re-interpret the residence has earned two covers of Architectural Digest! Her renovations have made the house more functional; better serving modern lifestyles with a new kitchen, baths, and an expansion of living space into what was the attached garage. Tropical plantings, including Trumpet Vine, Black Bird of Paradise, & Monstera Deliciosa impart a feeling of living in a tropical garden.
