Architect Frank Lloyd Wright Jr. designed the two-bedroom, one-bath home in 1465 sq. ft. in 1950. The house is currently (September 2013) on the market listed for sale for $850,000 and described in the listing, " Lloyd Wright had a vision to design an affordable quality home with characteristic elements of his father's Usonian homes and the Dorland home was created! Mr. Dorland said it best in a letter to Lloyd when he wrote, It isn't like living, it's like being on vacation.'' This sense of serenity was achieved as Lloyd created this home to blend seamlessly with it's natural surroundings. The awe inspiring living room features complimentary stains on large sections of wood panels to create a one-of-a-kind diamond pattern backdrop for the beamed ceilings. Walls of glass and rose colored block walls rise up from polished concrete floors to meet the ceilings. Walls of glass doors collapse into each other, creating a seamless transition into the thoughtfully planned Sylvan yard. Lloyd pulled the rose colored block and diamond pattern elements from the house and used them throughout the landscape design of the pool and patios completing his vision". Located at 1370 Morada Drive in the foothills of Altadena, an unincorporated neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
