Lloyd Wright’s Samuel-Navarro House

Design and Desire has featured the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his work several times. Today, however, we’re highlighting a Hollywood Hills home designed by his son, California architect Lloyd Wright.

Built in 1928 for Louis Samuel, personal secretary and companion to silent film star Ramon Navarro, the building has served as home for other notable celebrities. According to an article on msnbc.com, “Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green rented the home while they worked on the Broadway musical ‘On the Town.’” Actresses Dianne Keaton and Christina Ricci and record producer  John Carter were all former owners of the property.

The house, which prominently features Lloyd Wright’s signature Mayan influences, is currently on the market for $4.195 million. Read more details.
