The site is not in a particularly nice neighborhood, and I witnessed an arrest at the entrance to the park. However, despite the unfortunate circumstances of the house, it remains a breathtaking example of Wright’s extraordinary ability to relate the house to its site, offering a linked continuum of private and public spaces--including a gorgeous roofscape that overlooks the city. This and a remarkably friendly and knowledgeable staff make the Hollyhock House an important place to visit.
