Located in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, this interesting structure was designed by Lloyd Wright in 1926. The Sowden house was remodeled in 2002 and has been used as a shooting location for various television programs and films. I found some nice photos of the interior here.

The Ennis House was designed by Frank LLoyd Wright for the Ennis family in 1924. It is one of Wright’s most intriguing designs, based on Mayan motifs and constructed from cast Cemex blocks. The house is under restoration after being damaged by earthquake and heavy rain.

From Wikipedia: Chicano Park is a 32,000 square meter (7.9 acre) park located beneath the San Diego-Coronado Bridge in Logan Heights (Barrio Logan), a predominantly Mexican American and Mexican-immigrant community in central San Diego, California. The park is home to the world’s largest conglomeration of outdoor murals (67), as well as various sculptures, earthworks, and an architectural piece dedicated to the cultural heritage of the community.
Here are a few more photos of Chicano Park.
