Leap Some Tall History in a Single Bound

摘要

Frank Lloyd Wright's George D. Sturges residence will be auctioned on Feb. 21. The house is up for sale for the first time in nearly 50 years, as a part of the estate sale of actor Jack Larson, best known for playing Jimmy Olsen in the '50s-era Adventures of Superman TV show. Set in a hillside lot in Los Angeles' Brentwood neighborhood, the 1,200-square-foot house was designed a few years after Fallingwater, and is Wright's only Usonian design in the City of Angels. Expected to go for $2.5 to $3 million, all proceeds benefit the Bridges/Larson Foundation, which established the James Bridges Award in Film Directing.
