High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Storer House is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles built in 1923. The structure is noteworthy as one of the five Mayan Revival style textile-block houses built by Wright in the Los Angeles area from 1922 to 1924.The Storer House was built in 1923 for Dr. John Storer, a homeopathic physician. Wright used the textile-block motif to "fit" the home into the hillside, trying to create the impression that the home was "a man-made extension of the landscape." However, Wright biographer Brendan Gill described Storer House as a disappointment on this score: "in direct contradiction to everything that Wright had earlier preached about the natural, nearly invisible joining of structure and site, the Storer House, small as it is, asserts its presence with a surprising degree of arrogance -- an arrogance far more obvious in the 1920s, when the hillside lacked the softening effect of foliage, than it is today."
