La Miniatura (1923) in Pasadena is worth checking out. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Alice Millard, it is built of concrete blocks. The address is 645 Prospect Crescent, which is near Green and Green's Gamble House. —Jon Jerde, The Jerde Partnership
Designed by John Lautner in 1960 is an L.A. icon. Perched in the Hollywood Hills, it looks like a flying saucer. The house is best viewed from the corner of Flynn Ranch Road and Torreyson Drive. —Jon Jerde, The Jerde Partnership
