Frank Lloyd Wright's singular, Mayan-inspired Ennis House (1924) in Los Angeles, one of the first residences ever to constructed from concrete block, was just put on the market for $15 million.
The Ennis House
A bit out of your price range? Not to worry. Now you can own and build your very own Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece. The catch? You'll be building it yourself. Using LEGOs.
Just announced, the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection from LEGO. To coincide with the 50th Anniversary of Guggenheim Museum designed by Wright, LEGO and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation have issued a building set for the Guggenheim, and in August, Wright's spectacular Fallingwater.
Accompanying instruction booklets not only feature info on how to put the structure together (thank goodness!) but also include archival material and photography of these historically important masterpieces.
