The Hollyhock House was Frank Lloyd Wright’s first commission in Los Angeles,and it is the only Wright-designed house in California that is available for fulltime tours, five days a week.

The house is important in the development of Wright’s architectural styleand was constructed during what is referred to as his “Second Period (1913-1929)”. It is unlike any other house that he designed during this period, and isoften referred to as his “transitional” house. It is constructed mainly of hollowclay tile blocks covered with colored stucco. The four Los Angeles-area housesthat were completed afterwards were constructed from the then-new methodof using concrete textile blocks. With its relationship between interior andexterior spaces, the house was a precursor to what would become theCalifornia ranch-style home.

In addition, the construction of this house was seminal to the developmentof Modern architecture in California. As Frank Lloyd Wright was also busy withthe Imperial Hotel project in Japan, he hired his son Lloyd Wright and RudolphSchindler to supervise the construction of Hollyhock House. Schindler hired hisfriend from Austria, Richard Neutra, to oversee the landscape construction.Afterwards, Schindler, Neutra, and Wright (Lloyd) would all go on to havesuccessful careers in the Modern architecture movement in Southern California.

Through the decades, the house has suffered extensive damage fromseismic events, soil settlement, and water intrusion. The stabilization andrestoration work that was performed was carried out with the highest degree ofsensitivity, to remove past alterations, and to reproduce important features—thus restoring many areas to their period of significance. As a result of thisproject, this house-museum will remain open to the public and scholars.

11California Preservation Design Awards 2014 Trustees Award for Excellence

Considering its age, geologic conditions, continuum of water intrusion, and daily use, the facility was in relatively good condition mainly due to carefuloversight by the City of Los Angeles. Prior to the beginning of the project, andduring the first year of construction, the house remained open for tours. Mainproblems were multiple areas of prolonged water intrusion, interior and exteriorwater damage, and a number of walls and foundations that were damaged byseismic events or soil settlement.

This project was Phase III of a multi-phase project that started in 2009 withthe award of a $1,935,000 grant from the California Cultural and HistoricalEndowment. The City of Los Angeles provided $1,935,000 in matching funds. In 2010, a $489,000 a Save Americas Treasures grant was received from theNational Park Service. After a Supplemental Historic Structure Report wascompleted in late 2010, construction began in December 2010.

The house is a museum that is open for public touring five days a week. The park where the house is located is both a local and regional resource.Thousands of visitors every year visit or tour the facility, or take part in themultitude of programs offered at the site. These include K-12 school children,scholars, and Frank Lloyd Wright aficionados from around the world. In addition,a number of walls and ceilings were left open or unfinished, so visitors can vieworiginal construction methods and materials.

Originally constructed: 1919 to 1921Renovation project: 1946 to 1948Rehabilitation project: 1974Seismic stabilization project: 2000 to 2005Period of significance: 1919 to 1927

A Sense of Place: Design Guidelines for Yosemite National Park El Portal

Yosemite National Park is world-renowned for its stunning scenery as well as itsplace in the development of the national park system. Home to five NationalHistoric Landmarks and over 60 historic properties, Yosemite contains outstandingexamples of rustic architecture that span its 150-year history as a park. A Sense ofPlace: Design Guidelines for Yosemite National Park (2012) provides a frameworkfor determining the appropriate design character for new buildings, site work,and other alterations within this magnificent setting. These guidelines go beyondbasic universal principles of design to focus on the qualities that define thedistinctiveness of Yosemite and give the park its special place in visitors’memories. The guidelines are an essential reference for any designer creatingcontextually compatible structures and landscapes within the park includingplanners, architects, engineers, park management and maintenance personnel.

In January 1997, a tropical storm brought warm, heavy rains that melted thedeep snow pack in the Yosemite high country. The Merced River floodedYosemite Valley, including the lodging, employee housing, campgrounds, andadministrative offices. Concurrent with flood recovery, planning efforts wereunderway for Yosemite Valley and the Merced River. Subsequently, the parkcontracted for design guidelines to ensure all new projects would be compatiblewith the historic rustic character of the existing park infrastructure. Therehabilitation of the Lower Yosemite Falls Trail and the design of theEnvironmental Education Campus at Henness Ridge became the first majorprojects to test the design guidelines as they were developed. The first version of

the guidelines for Yosemite Valley was completed in 2005, but a major revision in2012 extended the guidelines to cover the entire park.

The design guidelines are noteworthy because they ensure the compatibilityof any new or rehabilitation construction with the historic rustic context ofYosemite National Park, while allowing for the contemporary interpretation ofrustic character. The park contains over 70 historic properties and 19 historicdistricts including five National Historic Landmarks that will be affected bycompletion of the Merced and Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River ComprehensiveManagement Plans, that combined call for over 200 individual planning actionsthat will be subject to the design guidelines, ensuring compatibility with bothnatural and cultural resources within the park.

Key goals of the guidelines include:

• Retaining natural site character, including setting, materials and ecologicalprocesses

• Designing structures and facilities to be compatible with the historic contextin which they are located

• Coordinating and integrating the design of individual structures with those ofthe site as a whole

• Enhancing unifying architectural and landscape themes and elements

• Emphasizing simplicity and restraint in design and respect for past buildingcharacter, traditions and practices

• Recognizing established principles of rustic design within the park andidentifying those aspects of rustic design that retain validity today, whileallowing for contemporary interpretation of those principles.

Yosemite National Park is internationally recognized as a masterpiece of nature.This extraordinary park encompasses glacially sculpted mountains, immensegranite rock forms, thundering waterfalls, pristine wilderness, serene meadows,and ancient groves of giant sequoias. Its sublime beauty has galvanizedpreservationists and inspired painters, poets and photographers. John Muir feltthat in Yosemite, “Nature had gathered her choicest treasures” into a mountainmansion. The landscape reflects the complex interplay between the natural andthe human-made. Within this grand setting, people have created a builtenvironment to protect the park’s resources and to facilitate enjoyment of themby generations of visitors. Hundreds of historic buildings and structurescomplement the natural setting and have become synonymous with the park’sidentity and visitor experience. The park recognizes that to uphold Yosemite as aspecial place, new facilities must be designed to be compatible and respectful ofthe park’s natural and cultural setting.
