Hollyhock House is a historic residence in Los Angeles, California, designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is located in the Barnsdall Art Park in the East Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles and is open to the public for tours. The house was commissioned by Aline Barnsdall, an oil heiress and patron of the arts, and was designed by Wright in 1919. It was built between 1919 and 1921 and is considered one of Wright’s most important works in the Los Angeles area. Hollyhock House is a prime example of Wright’s “organic architecture,” which sought to harmonize buildings with their natural surroundings. The house is characterized by its horizontal lines, overhanging roofs, and use of natural materials such as concrete, wood, and stone. It features a series of interconnected pavilions, each with its own function, arranged around a central courtyard.

The house is named after the hollyhock flower, which was one of Aline Barnsdall’s favorite plants and is incorporated into the design of the house. The house’s interiors feature many of Wright’s signature design elements, including built-in furniture, geometric patterns, and art glass windows. Hollyhock House is now a city cultural monument and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open to the public for tours, which are offered on a regular basis. Visitors can explore the house and learn about its history and architecture. The house is also used for various cultural events and educational programs.
