Said to be the first and only Usonian-style home from Frank Lloyd Wright in California, the George D. Sturges House in Brentwood Heights will go up for auction for the first time in 50 years next month.

The famed residence – a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (officially recognized as no. 577 on May 25, 1993) – is best known for its red brick and horizontal redwood exterior and its previous owners, Hollywood luminaries and art patrons Jack Larson and James Bridges, who purchased the house in 1967 and commissioned the celebrated modernist architect John Lautner for its restoration.

LAMA-Frank-Lloyd-Wright-Sturges-6A separate auction will include 75 lots of original furnishings by Frank Lloyd Wright, fine art, decorative art, and design collected by Larson and Bridges over their lifetimes. Highlights of their art collection include original works – many of which were gifts from the artists themselves – by David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Alex Katz, and others.

Constructed in 1939 and made of concrete, steel, brick, and redwood, the single-story 1,200-square-foot residence is set to hit the auction block in an estate sale conducted by Los Angeles Modern Auctions and Sotheby’s.

LAMA-Frank-Lloyd-Wright-Alex-Katz-February2016Proceeds from the auction of the house and collection will benefit The Bridges/Larson Foundation, founded by James Bridges and Jack Larson, to be used for charitable, scientific, literary, and educational purposes.

The pre-sale estimate for the sale of the landmark property is $2.5 to $3 million.
