George Sturges House, Frank Lloyd Wright residential house in Brentwood, United States.
The George Sturges House is a one-story single-family house on Skyewiay Road in Brentwood, Los Angeles, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1939. It measures about 1,200 square feet and is made of concrete, steel, brick and redwood, with a 21-foot panoramic deck. Wright had Taliesin fellow John Lautner oversee construction.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed the house for George D. Sturges in 1939, and Taliesin fellow John Lautner oversaw its construction. Actor Jack Larson owned it from 1967 until his death in 2015. After a 2016 auction drew no qualified bidders, the All Right Now Foundation acquired it that December; by 2026 the Los Angeles Conservancy had listed it as endangered.
The house is the only structure in Southern California built in Wright's Usonian style; other Wright homes nearby, such as the Ennis House, use his 1920s textile-block method. Its address, 449 N. Skyewiay Road, lets passers-by see the 21-foot panoramic deck from the street.
The location provides quick access to nearby neighborhoods, making it easy to explore the area. Visitors should plan ahead, as the house is private and not always available for tours.
