Built between 1918 and 1921, Hollyhock House was Frank Lloyd Wright’s first Los Angeles commission and an ode to California—its freedom and natural beauty. Designed for Aline Barnsdall, this house was intended to be the centerpiece of a 36-acre arts complex, which was only partially realized. Hollyhock House is a harbinger of California Modernism, inscribed to the UNESCO World Heritage List along with seven other Wright sites, and today is owned by the City of Los Angeles and operated by the Department of Cultural Affairs. More information about this historical site can be found at: https://hollyhockhouse.org/
There are self guided tours available and and a Visitor Center on site at the adjacent Barnsdal Park. This is going to be a great trip!
