Friday, September 24, 2010 – On Olive Hill

Detail of Frank Lloyd Wright's 1921 Hollyhock House, Hollywood Boulevard

Frank Lloyd Wright built his 1921 Hollyhock House on Olive Hill – now Barnsdall Park – Hollywood Boulevard at Vermont. So you have an arts park with a theater and galleries and an art school and gardens and all, with the Wright house in middle on the top of the hill – always undergoing restoration as it's one of his "textile block" buildings. That Aztec-meets-Deco construction technique might have been a bad idea. But on a blazing hot September day it a good place to just sit and not move much. It's quiet. No tourists ever go there. And you can stare at things.
