In 1956, a man named Buck Stahl and his wife built their dream home, designed by Pierre Koenig. The end result was a modern structure with huge glass windows overlooking the lights of Los Angeles. This house, which was officially declared an Historic Cultural Landmark in 1999, became an icon of the modern architectural style. Tours of the house and grounds can be reserved online, and experienced docents will lead visitors through the house to show architectural points of interest and tell stories of the history of the place and its cultural significance.

Stahl House, 1635 Woods Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90069, Phone: 208-429-1058
