About Us
Located at 8161 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, the Storer House is a stunning example of Frank Lloyd Wright's Mayan Revival-style architecture. Built between 1922-1934, it is one of four textile block houses designed by Wright in Southern California. The unique feature of the Storer House is its richly textured concrete walls with multiple patterns on its blocks.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Storer House is privately owned and showcases Wright's innovative modular construction system. The residence, built on a steep hillside in the Hollywood Hills, was compared to a Pompeiian villa at the time of its construction. After falling into disrepair, Hollywood producer Joel Silver purchased the house in 1984 and undertook a meticulous restoration project with the help of Wright's grandson and the Los Angeles Conservancy.
Today, the Storer House is considered the best-preserved Wright building in Los Angeles and remains a private residence. Its lush landscaping and unique design make it a hidden gem in the Hollywood Hills, offering a glimpse into Wright's vision of modern and democratic architecture.

"Nothing can go wrong with a Frank Lloyd Wright building to visit. Cheers!"
"Storer House (1923) - kind of depressing but at least it’s getting repaired I guess… “By 1980, the house had fallen into a dilapidated condition. It was put on the market for $1 million in 1981,before being acquired in 1984 for $800,000 by motion picture producer Joel Silver. Silver, who has produced such films as Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and The Matrix, began a restoration project in 1984. One of the blocks in the house was used as the Silver Pictures logo from 1991 to 2005, shown at the end of The Matrix Trilogy, Conspiracy Theory, Cradle 2 The Grave, Swordfish, and Romeo Must Die. In The Venture Brothers, home of Phantom Limb and later the Monarch and Doctor Mrs. the Monarch. It is prominently featured in The Rocketeer.” (see pics)"
