About This Building
The grandest of the textile block houses — a Mayan temple on a Hollywood hillside.
The Ennis House is the largest and most dramatic of Wright's four Los Angeles textile block houses. Perched on a hillside in the Los Feliz neighborhood, the house commands sweeping views of the city and the San Fernando Valley. Its interlocking concrete blocks, cast with a geometric pattern, create a surface of extraordinary richness. The house has appeared in dozens of films and television productions, most notably "Blade Runner."
