George Sturges Residence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The George Sturges Residence is a home located in Brentwood Heights, California that was designed by famous American Architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The home was built in 1939 and is located at 449 Skyewiay RD. Brentwood Heights, California. Most of the house is cantilevered out over a hill. The exterior wood was originally heart redwood because Wright thought it would never rot, he liked the beauty of redwood and it was a reasonable substitute for cypress. A later owner replaced the redwood because the wood was too soft and water penetrated it easily and caused stains.
