🏡✨ House Crush Friday ✨🏡
This week’s architectural obsession is the Samuel-Novarro House, one of Los Feliz’s most iconic residences.
Designed in 1928 by Lloyd Wright—the son of Frank Lloyd Wright. This remarkable Art Deco masterpiece is wrapped in hand-patinated copper that has weathered into its signature emerald-green exterior over nearly a century.
Originally commissioned for Louis Samuel, secretary to silent film legend Ramón Novarro, the home later became Novarro’s own residence. Decades later, Diane Keaton helped restore and preserve this architectural treasure, ensuring its legacy would continue.
Now designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #130, the Samuel-Novarro House remains one of Southern California’s most extraordinary architectural landmarks, a stunning blend of Hollywood history, Art Deco design, and timeless craftsmanship.
✨ Which detail steals the show for you?
The copper façade, the geometric pool, or those incredible steel-framed doors?
