Schlessinger House, Rudolph M. Schindler, Architect 1952; Eric Lamers, Restoration 2014

            From his arrival in Los Angeles on December 3, 1920 until his death on August 22, 1953, Rudolph Schindler had worked on some 450 projects (some in conjunction with others) of which approximately one-fourth were built.

The Schlesinger House, built for the family of Dr. Philip Schlessinger, a popular professor at nearby Los Angeles City College for more than 60 years, was one of Schindler's last commissions.  Professor Schlessinger.died at age 96 on September 22, 2010. 

Built on a a hillside overlooking the famed Shakespeare Bridge, the house was occupied by the Schlessinger family continuously since 1952. After Schlessinger's death, the house sat empty for several years before being purchased and restored by a recent owner, who sought the services of restoration expert Eric Lamers. 

Located at 1901 Myra Avenue in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.  Please do not use this image in any media without my permission.
