This building which is one of the few commercial use buildings done by FLW is located in the (in) famous RODEO DRIVE.
This is said to be the first building where he used the concept of the central ramp which he further developed in his guggenham museum...
Location: Beverly Hills, on the western side of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, between Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards
Best Time to Visit: Rodeo Drive is at its best during the evening near Christmas, when lights and flowers decorate the streets, and the stores get more gussied up than their best-dressed patrons. The rest of the year, it's less crowded weekdays. Avoid Sunday. Many shops are closed, and all you'll find are a few tourists peering into darkened windows.
These shops are a little-known Wright design that is not generally recognized as one of his better works. The design is a series of small boutiques around a central light well, connected by an angular ramp. The tower is similar to the one at the Marin Civic Center. Today's canopy and signage are later additions, not consistent with Wright's original design. There are no organized tours, but the shops are easily accessible.
