About Hollyhock House

Hollyhock House sits in Barnsdall Art Park in East Hollywood and is a house museum. Frank Lloyd Wright designed it for Aline Barnsdall, and its layout of three wings around a central courtyard reflects several architectural styles. Its name comes from hollyhock-inspired motifs in the design. Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Lloyd Wright helped with the main house and its outbuildings. The project also launched the careers of Schindler and Lloyd Wright, and its design helped spark the modern California architecture movement. The house has earned several official recognitions, including city, national, and UNESCO designations. Volunteer docents guide visitors through its history and architectural features.
