  • Originally one of the brothers’ smallest designs, this bungalow sports a deep overhang of eaves sheltering the main entrance along the driveway side.

  • This home is distinguished by a very wide covered porch, which keeps out the heat as well as the light, giving the house a rather sombre appearance.

  • The stained-glass entrance door, the clinker brick wall, and the pergola are the only surviving Greene & Greene elements of this extensively remodeled home.

  • Mary Ranney worked as a draftsperson at the brothers’ firm and contributed many of the design ideas for this lovely shingled corner mansion.

  • Hemmed in by an unusual wall made of warped clinker bricks and boulders, this pretty house has a stained-glass front door.

  • This house has lost much of its Craftsman look thanks to the replacement of the shingle exterior with painted stucco.

  • Shooting upward for about 1,017 ft (305 m), the tallest building between Chicago and Hong Kong was erected only after developers were forced to purchase the air rights from neighboring Central Library in order to exceed official height limits.

  • This Frank Gehry-designed downtown extravaganza is easily recognized by its shiny and dynamically curved exterior. The new home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, it opened in October 2003. The city-block-sized complex also comprises two small outdoor amphitheaters (see Walt Disney Concert Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall).

  • Wayfarer’s Chapel

    Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, set this unique glass chapel amid a grove of redwood trees on an isolated hilltop overlooking the Pacific on the Palos Verdes peninsula. Today, this fairytale structure is one of the most popular wedding venues in LA.

  • Westin Bonaventure Hotel

    The five mirror-glass cylinders of LA’s biggest hotel look like a giant space ship ready for take-off.
