Looking south along Highland Avenue from the Freeman House at 1962 Glencoe Way, Los AngelesThe Samuel Freeman House is home that Frank Lloyd Wright built at 1962 Glencoe Way in the Hollywood Hills in 1924. Samuel and Harriet held artistic and political salons there from the 1920s through to the 80s, with guests that included Martha Graham, Jean Negulesco, Richard Neutra, Xavier Cugat, and Clark Gable. I probably would have entertained a lot, too, if I had a view that looked straight down Highland Ave to the Hollywood Hotel, the Citizens Bank building, the Max Factor building and beyond.

These two photos were taken by Julius Shulman in 1953:
