Wright first joined his father in Los Angeles in 1919 to assist in the landscaping for the Hollyhock House, the elder Wright’s first Californian project, according to a 1987 New York Times article, and the pair went on to collaborate on a Prairie-style house in the city recently listed for $1.35 million.

A second house designed by Wright, found on nearby Franklin Avenue, is in contract to sell with an asking price of $4.69 million. The house was embroiled in scandal when the unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short, dubbed the Black Dahlia, led investigators to the basement.
