The Ennis House—a veritable Hollywood icon, with over 80 screen appearances—is the last and largest of Wright’s four Los Angeles-area “textile block” houses.

Wright’s only building in Utah, construction on the Usonian-style, concrete block home began in 1959 and was completed by the Taliesin Associated Architects in 1963.
Built for his son David and daughter-in-law Gladys, this Phoenix residence is one of Wright’s most innovative and unusual works of architecture.
The only Wright structure in New Mexico, this home stands adjacent to the Santa Fe National Forest and marks the first built version of Wright’s hexagonal “teepee” idea, which looks back to a 1920s design for a resort in Lake Tahoe.
Though the extent of Wright’s involvement with this project remains unclear, the Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Cottage complex is generally recognized as a collaboration between Wright and Albert Chase McArthur, a former draftsman in Wright’s Oak Park studio.
