Description

The blueprints for the elevations of the Director's House (House A) show the Prairie influence on Wright's design. With a long row of clearstory windows, concrete walls, and horizontal lines, the house clearly shows the Wright design. Wright brought Rudolph Schindler out to Los Angeles from his home in Chicago to manage the construction of the Hollyhock House and the rest of the buildings on Olive Hill. The Director's house is currently undergoing renovations.
