Los Angeles Modern Auctions (LAMA) has announced that Frank Lloyd Wright’s George Sturges House will be among 75 lots from the estate of the actor and playwright Jack Larson to be auctioned on February 21. [...]
When a house like this became available in 1967, Larson and Bridges were looking for something that exemplified their interests in all things artistic, it was very exciting for them to acquire. It was a trophy. It will be a trophy, probably, for the next owner.

The 1,200 square foot home, located in Brentwood Heights in Brentwood, Los Angeles, was designed and built in 1939, with a budget of $9,000 (adjusted for inflation, that would be roughly $153,671 today). It was the first Usonian house to be built.
The bidding is estimated to begin at $2.5 to $3 million.

The Jimmy Olsen house!
I visited it on a tour years back...really a little gem.
It's a really cool little house. Hope the new owners will put some money into it. It's looked pretty shabby for awhile. Time to catch up with the deferred maintenance.
