Summary
| Description | The Aline Barnsdall Complex in Los Angeles, a national landmark (1922). Barnsdall was the heiress to Theodore Newtown Barnsdall, who made his fortune during the Pennsylvania oil rush. Aline dedicated her life to radical causes and art, supporting Emma Goldman and producing an independent theater in Chicago. She commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a new house for her. Furthermore, she asked that it be a capable complex to house her needs for her theatrical community. Wright was busy with the Imperial Hotel in Japan at the time and wasn't able to supervise contruction. The house quickly exceeded cost expectations and Barnsdall grew weary of the project. Barnsdall gave the house away after only a few years, donating it to the California Art Club. Known to most of the world as the Hollyhock House, it is perhaps Wright's third most famous house commission after Fallingwater and the Robie House. Despite its gorgeous architecture, the house was rather impractical. |
