History
Frank Lloyd Wright designed the home in 1923 to serve as a residence for Charles and Mabel Ennis, who owned a men's clothing business in the area. The house was designed for the couple to entertain guests and included several bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, pantry, guesthouse and several common spaces. Charles Ennis died in 1928, but his wife remained in the home until 1936. John Nesbit purchased the property in 1940 and enlisted Frank Lloyd Wright to redesign several areas, assing a pool and billiard room.http://www.ennishouse.org/pdf/Ennis_Fact_Sheet.pdfThe property changed ownership several times through the 1990s, then was severely damaged in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The building was also damaged in 2005 after heavy rainfall hit the area. The Ellis House Foundation took over ownership in 2005, and used funds from FEMA and a construction loan to restore the structure. Although the restoration was completed in 2007, the building has not been open to the public.http://www.ennishouse.org/pdf/Ennis_Fact_Sheet.pdf

Quotes
"You see, the final result is going to stand on that hill a hundred years or more. Long after we are gone it will be pointed out as the Ennis House, and pilgrimages will be made to it by lovers of the beautiful – from everywhere."—Frank Lloyd Wrighthttp://www.laconservancy.org/issues/issues_ennis.php4"After serious consideration, the Ennis House Foundation has decided to place the Ennis House on the market for sale to a private owner. This decision stems primarily from the fact that the house needs more stewardship at this point than a small nonprofit can sustain."—Ennis House Foundation statementhttp://www.ennishouse.org/
