7 of the Most Eye-Catching Homes Across the U.S.

A magnificent Mayan Revival triumph, Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House has stood in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles since 1924.

Specially designed aluminum molds were used to create the 27,000 concrete blocks that give the house its tactile texture. Its distinctive appearance has made it popular with location scouts, and it was featured in a slew of movies and TV shows, including Blade Runner, The Karate Kid Part III, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Westworld. Sadly, time and insufficient maintenance took their toll on the home. The 1994 Northridge earthquake damaged the structure, and exceptionally heavy rainfall in 2005 caused the fabric of the building to deteriorate further. Fortunately now fully restored, this historical landmark is a private home once again, opening to the public 12 times a year under an agreement with the Los Angeles Conservancy.
