The Schindler House will be closed for roof restoration from October to December.

The renovation effort is led by the Friends of Schindler House, the nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve and maintain Schindler’s Kings Road House, with support from the Museum der Angewandte Kunst in Vienna.

Restoration for the Schindler House has been ongoing since 1980 with funding from the city of West Hollywood, the State of California, the Republic of Austria and private donations. The intent is to return the house to its appearance on the date of completion, June 6, 1922. For information about the restoration efforts by FoSH and their partners, visit schindlerhouse.org. The Schindler House, designed by modernist architect and Viennese émigré Rudolph M. Schindler as his house and studio in 1922, is owned and maintained by the Friends of the Schindler House. Since 1994 the Schindler House has been operated by the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, running a multidisciplinary contemporary and experimental program in the spirit of R.M. Schindler. The Schindler House is located at 835 N. Kings Road.
