It seems customary these days for newspapers and blogs to present all of their top ten lists at the end of the calendar year. Here is one list that I could not help but post here.
The Best Houses of All Time in L.A.
According to the Los Angeles Times panel of experts

What intrigued me most was that all of the houses were Modern or near Modern (ala Gamble House). I also could not help but notice that most of these houses were on my list of must sees when I have been in LA. So I have included one of my photographs of each of the houses that I have visited along with the list.
1: Kings Road House, Rudolph Schindler, West Hollywood, 1921-22
2. Kaufmann House, Richard Neutra, Palm Springs, 1946
3. Ennis House, Frank Lloyd Wright, Los Feliz, 1924
4. Eames House (Case Study House No. 8), Charles and Ray Eames, Pacific Palisades, 1949
5. Stahl House (Case Study House No. 22), Pierre Koenig, Hollywood Hills, 1960
I have not been here yet, but will definitely see this on my next trip to LA. More on that later.
6. Gamble House, Charles and Henry Greene, Pasadena, 1908
I love the work of Greene & Greene, but I have not made it to Pasadena yet.
7. Chemosphere, John Lautner, Hollywood Hills, 1960
Believe me I will find this one soon too, but I hear it is very hard to see.
8. Kappe House; Ray Kappe, Pacific Palisades, 1968

Well, since it was demolished when I was seven, I will just have to enjoy the photos of others.
10. Hollyhock House, Frank Lloyd Wright, Hollywood, 1921
