A photograph in the May 13, 1954, issue of the Park Labrea News showed famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright (center) at a groundbreaking ceremony for an art gallery he designed in Hollywood’s Barnsdall Park. Wright’s grandson Eric Wright (left) and the project’s contractor Morris Pynoos, a Park La Brea resident, joined the architect at the ceremony. Known as the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, the facility remains open in the hilltop park at 4800 Hollywood Blvd. and is operated by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Wright is more famously known for designing Barnsdall Park’s Hollyhock House – which was recently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Hollyhock House, also operated by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, is open Thursday through Sunday for self-guided tours. For information, visit barnsdall.org.
