Storer House
Dr. John Storer, a homeopathic physician, commissioned his friend, Frank Lloyd Wright, to design and build a house for him in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. Completed in 1923, Storer House is one of four textile-block houses and one of five Mayan Revival style houses built by Wright between 1922 and 1924 in Southern California. The five-level, three-story, 2,967 sq ft structure is located on a steep hillside and Wright designed it to take advantage of the views. Wright’s son, Lloyd Wright, served as both the on-site construction supervisor and the landscape architect. Owner Dr. Jerome Jacobi undertook restoration of the house after it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 as did Joel Silver when he purchased it in the 1980s. Storer House is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument as well.
