A Visit to Hollyhock House

Los Angeles, California

Although we really enjoyed our tour of Hollyhock House, it does not have the grace of Falling Water. The woman who hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design it was not happy with the result, but it fairness she was said to be hard to please.

The house had some engineering issues, and in this it was not alone in Wright's designs.  I admit that the some of the rooms were very nice, particularly the living room, although the moat in front of the fireplace was odd.
