Summary:

This is an urgent call to save superb landscape design by a premier American architect. A city-owned park in East Hollywood, Barnsdall includes gardens, groves, and three Wright-designed houses. Damaged by decades of neglect and an earthquake, this site's need of restoration is made eloquently clear. Included are rare historical photos, drawings by Wright, and new renderings.
