City Considers Free Admission for Reopening of Frank Lloyd Wright' Hollyhock House
The Hollyhock House, Frank Lloyd Wright's first LA home, will reopen to the public next month after a seven-year renovation.

Architecture buffs and neophytes alike who want to take a self-guided tour inside the newly restored Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Hollyhock House could do so for free under a motion being considered by a City Council committee today.
A grand re-opening and public viewing of the Hollyhock House -- the first building that Wright built in Los Angeles -- is set for Feb. 13-14. The Arts, Parks, Health, Aging and River Committee is scheduled today to consider waiving the admissions fee, which is $7 for adults and $3 for students, children and seniors.

The Hollyhock House is located within Barnsdall Art Park in East Hollywood and was constructed between 1919 and 1921 under a commission by oil heiress Aline Barnsdall. She donated the house to the city in 1927, and the building has operated as a museum.
It closed in 2008 for renovations, which included restored floors, windows, doors, decorative molding and paint. The house is designed in a style known as California Romanza, and features decorative patterns in the shape of Barnsdall’s favorite flower, the hollyhock.
