If you’re cruising around L.A. this weekend looking for something festive but free—of both crowds and admission—head to Highland Park. One of the city’s most iconic homes is celebrating with a visual treat that you'll want to slow down for. The Henry O. Bollman House, a striking early work by architect Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., is hosting a free projection light show from 7pm to 8pm on December 27. The show runs on a 10-minute loop and transforms the home’s patterned concrete façade into a glowing canvas of projected art. There’s no formal program or entry point, you just drive by, slow down and take in the beauty of the home and the projections. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Henry O. Bollman House (@bollman.house) The light show celebrates the holidays as well as Bollman House’s recent listing on the National Register of Historic Places, a major milestone for a building that helped shape Los Angeles’ architectural identity. Few designers left a deeper mark on the city than Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., and this home is one of the clearest expressions of his early, independent voice. Commissioned by builder and developer Henry Bollman, the house was constructed between 1922 and 1923. It’s best known for its use of pre-cast concrete textile blocks, an innovative technique at the time that allowed for intricate, repeating patterns. It feels both modern and ancient, with strong Mesoamerican influences in its geometric exterior. Behind those walls, the house spans about 2,500 square feet and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms. But this weekend, the focus is on the outside. Projected visuals ripple across the blocks, highlighting textures and shapes that are easy to miss in daylight. The Bollman House was already recognized as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 235 back in 1980. Its new national designation further cements its importance, and organizers say this light show is just the beginning. There are hopes to turn the project into an ongoing community series, inviting different artists to reinterpret the house throughout the year. For now, it’s a short, sweet holiday detour. So plan for a drive by this Saturday, December 27 between 7 and 8pm at 1530 N Ogden Drive. ...read more read less
