The apparently recession-proof Luxist blog points out that Frank Lloyd Wright's 1924 Ennis House - a cult LA building - is currently for sale. Until now, it's been owned by a non-profit foundation... it apparently needs a wealthier steward. The Ennis House is a proper classic... an early concrete masterpiece studied by architects and loved by anyone who loves 20th Century design.

You may have seen this one in the movies including "House on Haunted Hill," "Grand Canyon" and "Blade Runner." The home is not exactly in move in condition. The LA Times article states that the new owner is also facing a projected repair bill of $5 million to $7 million. But whoever does take on the project will be getting an incredible one-of-kind home that is a California State Landmark.

Official website, here. Price tag, $15m.
