Ennis-Brown House


The Ennis-Brown House, LA, June/July 2003, when the house was till open to the public. It is now (2010) in limbo, looking for a owner with big pockets. See http://www.ennishouse.org/

If you want to drive by, it's at 2655 Glendower Avenue in the Los Feliz District of Los Angeles.

We were there twice in 2003. In June, we were there when it was still opened to the public and were give a tour by the manager.

We returned to the house in July for a party sponsored by the Art Deco Society of LA to raise money for the house preservation.

The guests included Eric Lloyd Wright, FLW's grandson, Julius Schulman, the famous architectural photographer and David Judson of Judson Studios, the family business who did the original stained glass.
