Architectural magazine Dwell is bringing an exclusive home tour on Saturday, Oct. 18, featuring three stunning private residences, a coffee meetup, and complimentary access to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, which, due to  L.A.’s proposed budget cuts slashing staffing may soon close to the public, and put its UNESCO World Heritage status at risk.

The three-hour open house will also include tours of the 1920s Descanso House in Silver Lake, the Lark House in Mount Washington, and the multi-level San Marino House mid-century home. Get Tickets Here
