Maven has come across two links about the Ennis-Brown House. One is a blog that has some increcible shots inside at http://laplaces.blogspot.com/2009/03/los-feliz-frank-lloyd-wright-houses.html.

The other has photographs plus a history of the house that includes the restoration of this Los Angeles (and Hollywood) landmark at http://bigorangelandmarks.blogspot.com/2008/06/no-149-ennis-brown-house.html.

According to this website, the house has been stabilized but will still need around $10,000,000 (2008 US dollars) to "rehabilitate" the landmark.

Looking at these pictures makes you wonder what Vincent Price's House on Haunted Hill would have been like if they had used the actual interiors of the house!
