Built in 1924 for retailer Charles Ennis and his wife Mabel, the Ennis House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built by his son, architect Lloyd Wright. The house is the last and largest of the elder Wright's four Los Angeles-area "textile block" houses which feature patterned and perforated concrete blocks that give a unique textural appearance to both their exteriors and interiors. The house and chauffeur's quarters span roughly 6,200 square feet and were constructed of more than 27,000 concrete blocks; all made by hand using decomposed granite extracted from the site.
Frank Lloyd Wright's famed and long-endangered Ennis House, which served as a location for numerous films and music videos was sold to business executive and founder of the Yucaipa Companies Ron Burkle in 2011. Thankfully, Mr. Burkle is committed to complete the rehabilitation of this irreplaceable icon.
