Description:
The Ennis-Brown house is the most monumental of the last four Los Angeles textile-block houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. For Wright's career these houses characterize the transition from the Prairie to Usonia style. Poured concrete blocks knitted together with intersecting steel rods constitute the form of this multi-level house, built for Mabel and Charles Ennis in 1923. The textile blocks are of symmetrical geometric design, complete only when blocks are paired, that creates a design reminiscent of a Mayan temple. Art glass windows and doors, with abstracted wisteria motif, express Wright's earlier Prairie period. description The Ennis-Brown house is the most monumental of the last four Los Angeles textile-block houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
