The Storer House at 8161 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles is a landmark residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the Mayan Revival style and completed in 1924. Built for homeopathic physician John Storer, it is one of four concrete textile block houses Wright created in Greater Los Angeles during the 1920s, alongside La Miniatura, the Ennis House, and the Freeman House. The two-story structure features a T-shaped floor plan anchored to a hillside slope, its exterior composed of concrete textile blocks alternating between plain surfaces and those engraved with decorative patterns. A series of terraces leads to five glass doors on the southern facade, separated by concrete piers. The interior spans approximately 3,000 square feet with three bedrooms, a den, three bathrooms, and spaces distributed across multiple levels—the dining room and kitchen on the lower floor, the living room above, and a mezzanine and basement accommodating additional bedrooms and a den. Designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house was extensively restored by filmmaker Joel Silver beginning in 1984, a renovation that won two awards.
