The 101-year-old home, designed for an oil heiress, has been restored and will soon reopen to the public after being closed for more than two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than a century after its completion and three years after being recognized as a cultural world treasure, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House will soon reopen to the public.
Hollyhock House will reopen Aug. 18 and show off a series of “significant transformations,’' said Daniel Tarica, interim general manager of the cultural affairs agency. The Chicago-based architect increased his visits to Los Angeles as he traveled to Tokyo, where he designed the Imperial Hotel. Along the way, he met Barnsdall, a philanthropist, theater producer, political progressive, world traveler and lover of the hollyhock flower. Wright agreed to incorporate the floral element into his design for the house.
Over the decades, it saw periods of disrepair. In 1946, the architect’s son, Lloyd Wright, helped lead an earlier restoration, redesigning and modernizing the kitchen — changes that later restorations left in place.
