Built in 1961, John Lautner's Hollywood Hills Wolff Residence is up for sale, with a $6.5 million asking price. Reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, Lautner drew inspiration from the work of his mentor.
In 2006, the structure was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. The listing is currently held by George Salazar and Berkshire Hathaway's Tilsia Acosta.

I checked Wolffy out recently and I just hope whoever buys it gets someone like Marmol Radziner to renovate it back to its glory days.
It's not completely lost by any means but as with all older buildings it needs to be pushed in the right direction.
Part of the problem with these types of iconic houses is they don't resale well. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-16/having-a-home-by-a-star-architect-is-amazing-until-you-try-to-sell-it?utm_campaign=news&utm_medium=bd&utm_source=applenews
Not sure about such a blanket statement but Lautner's Masterpieces sell for more than the owner paid for, even during recessions. Not all architects are created equal ... the information on the sales' prices over the years in California is public record and easy to come by
