Lloyd Wright
At a reception and tour hosted by the LA Deco Society in 2003, Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright's Grandson (center) talked about the house, it's importance in the FLW history and how the usual difficult relationship with the client led to final designs not intended by FLW.

Back To The Future
Where else but LA could you see a half-dozen replicas of the "Back to the Future" Delorean? A couple of these are actual movie cars. They gathered at the Art Center in Pasadena for their 2007 design show.

Ennis Brown House, June, 2003
This is how the Ennis-Brown House looked in June, 2003. The wall was crumbling. The Getty Center funded shoring up the wall (note the steel beams) to prevent collapse.
Take a look at the new photo posted here to see how it's been repaired.

Ennis-Brown House, Los Angeles
The Ennis-Brown House is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces. It was one of his first concrete houses, which has been one of its problems, as he did not quite get the formula right the first time. It's famous - a movie star many times, including Harrison Ford's residence in 'Blade Runner." It's been damaged by earthquakes, rain, mudslides, etc. putting it on lists of the world's most threatened monuments. A group headed by Diane Keaton is raising money to have it restored. This wall is newly restored from severe damage.
