    A view of the famous house from the grounds
    Tracey A.

    A fun little discovery can be uncovered in the hills above Santa Monica's beach: The former home of Ray and Charles Eames, prominent mid-century designers of both furniture and architecture. For a $10 entry fee (waived with student i.d.) one gains admission to the grounds on which the Eames' house and studio sit. You're invited to peer into the house and studio, they may even open a slider to enable this, but no photos of the interior are permitted. Although the experience is billed as "self-guided", during my visit a docent opened the slider to the home, allowing a better view inside, and discussed different aspects of the house with us in a very informal manner. The experience is mostly visual but if you have questions, ask away. I've no doubt the docents can answer anything you might wish to know about the Eames house and the Eames themselves. Walk the property and enjoy its natural beauty. Take a look at the map to reveal that the surrounding houses are (or were) case studies for other types of mid-century home designs. A visit to the Eames house (overseen by the Eames Foundation, advance reservations accepted), will likely take up no more than 45 minutes of your time but you'll feel like you've seen something unique and historical and forevermore you'll likely spot images of the immediately recognizable home in books and magazines allowing you to say "I've been there".

    The Eames House is a landmark of midcentury modern architecture. Built by Charles and Ray Eames (the original design was also worked on by Eero Saarinen), it's pretty stunning and yet designed to be constructed from "off-the-shelf" parts to make it an affordable design that could inspire designs for homes for everyday Americans. The most affordable way to experience the Eames House is to do an exterior self-guided tour. It's $10. That might not sound like much if you're used to interior, guided tours, but we still really enjoyed our visit. You can walk all the way around the house and studio for a 360-degree-view of the house and docents are there to answer any questions you might have. Because the bottom floor of the house and the studio has so much glass, you can see into several rooms of the house quite well. They ask that you don't take pictures into the interior through the glass because interior tours are how they fund-raise. Speaking of, if you're really a buff and willing to pay for the experience, you CAN tour the interior (prices are on their website). It was pricey for us, so we stuck with the exterior tour. Definitely right for us. We made a reservation online, but two guys who came in at the same time as us didn't make reservations and they were able to pay the docent and still do the exterior tour. It's a bit hard to find - definitely follow the instructions on the website. We parked on Corona del Mar and then walked back down the hill and then down a private alleyway (the only way to enter the property). If you enjoy architecture (especially mid-century American architecture), this house is worth a visit!

    Came to visit Case Study House #8 last Thursday. It's quite interesting to learn about the history of the house, the Eameses and to see the actual architecture. I was slightly disappointed because I had just been to the Stahl House the previous night, and the house and view were just incomparable. Eames is tucked into a hill and doesn't really have much of a view until you go further into the yard. Additionally, since you can't go into the house, you really only need a few minutes to walk around and take photos. I wish I had seen the Eames House before seeing the Stahl as my expectations were just set so high. Parking is on the street right around the corner of the compound and it's an easy walk to the house. They offer interior tours and picnics but IMO, they are not worth it as you can pretty much see most everything in the house by just walking around.

    Awesome mid century modern architecture
    Richard L.

    This is a true mid century modern house at its finest. They're definitely has been some upkeep and restoration over the years and is definitely worth visiting. The tour we went on was just rocking around the outside and sticking her head in the doorway as the interior walking tour cost substantially more than $10. If you're in the Pacific Palisades area and are into architecturally amazing homes this is definitely worth a visit.

    The folks running the place were great. Very patient. Zoe went out of her way to make us feel welcome and answered our questions. And the portable toilet was a high tech marvel

    Twenty plus years after first being introduced to case study house number 8 in a college architecture class at UCLA, I finally had the opportunity to visit and tour the property. Even better was the private tour that was arranged through the Eames Foundation. Our tour guide John was such a pleasure and obviously has a passion for all this Charles and Ray Eames. Even after seeing so many pictures of the property over the years, I was not prepared for the peaceful nature of the site. Situated on a bluff that juts high above the Pacific Coast Highway, with a view of the ocean and coastline that is utterly breathtaking, the private drive that leads to the house can't be parked on so you leave your car on a side street and make the short trek to the property. My friends and I commented along the way how it felt like we were on a pilgrimage of sorts. As the house came into view it couldn't have felt more true. Our tour included just four of us and our docent John. After making our introductions, we removed our shoes and entered the world of Charles and Ray Eames. The house remains exactly as Ray left it when she died 10 years after her husband. The foundation has gone to great pains to keep everything as it was to give you a sense of what their life was like there. John was such a pleasure as a guide. He had so many interesting stories and facts to share plus engaged us in so many questions that the hours flew by. The house and studio are not large by any means and yet our two hours there seemed barely enough time to take it all in. We ended the tour with tea in the studio, discussing Eames creative history. The icing on the cake was using the marbles on the xylophone tower to play a melody. The whole experience is something I will always cherish.

    When planning my trip to LA, I came across the Eames Foundation. I had no idea the house was open to the public and I was very excited about the opportunity to see it. I called and made a reservation. The cost is $10 per person and there is no parking, you have to find street parking. The house is a little hard to find because it's tucked in an alley. When you enter the grounds, it's really impressive to see. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, I talked to 2 of the girls that worked there for ever, they were super nice and helpful. I enjoyed my experience because I did research before I visited, I made sure I knew how it works, and what you will be allowed and not allowed to do, so there were no surprises when I was told not we are not allowed to go inside the house. To me it makes perfect sense in order to preserve the integrity of the building and furnishings. The house is in 2 parts. One part is the studio and the other the actual house, there is a cute courtyard in the middle. The studio is the Eames Foundation's offices and the house remains almost intact since the 80's. The grounds are beautiful and they also have a desk with the renderings for you to look at. I am highly impressed with the architecture, very ahead of the times. It looks more like a building from the 1960's but it was designed and constructed in 1949. If you are an Eames fan, it's a must.

    Eames House, mid-century modern
    Sabrina M.

    What a depressing visit. No tours of the interior, self guided tour of the grounds which would have taken 5 minutes at best, no pictures allowed in interior areas, kids can't play on the only piece of playground equipment. I love the Eames', I love their house. I had been looking forward to a visit here for years. It was SO disappointing. The staff seemed more like security guards rather than docents. The worst architectural visit I've ever experienced in Los Angeles... never again.

    The history of modern American design has many of it's roots firmly planted here. This monument Case Study House #8 has shown itself to be a work of love and art fused into a function that is surrounded by its own natural environment. The Eames have shown the durability and genius of its design as it had been proven to uphold minor rearrangements and has been lived in by the Eames entire lifetime since its completion in 1949. Undergoing a transitional state to prepare its survival for another quarter millennia. As my little family saw it we were unable to view much of the main house. Yet the office was still visible in its mostly preserved state. You are allowed to roam the field and go up and around the upper side of the house around their garden. To see it in person shows the human craftsmanship to the house. A side that is hidden from the photographs and brings a genuine approach to its outstanding image. If you don't know much about the "Eames Era" chances are you already have a prerequisite. Especially if you went to school, worked in an office or sat in an airport in America from the 1940's up until the end of the century. The designers have contributed timeless designs that were meant to be beautiful and minimal while providing the basic function that it is created for. Much like the Case Study House #8 itself. In more ways than can be described I feel that the house is the epicenter of the Eames era.

    Whether you know it or not, all of our lives have been touched by Charles and Ray Eames, the respected architect/designer couple who reigned during the mid-century Modernism era. If, like me, you frequented public libraries in the early 80s or ever sat in tandem row seating while waiting at the airport for a flight, your behind has certainly been touched by the Eames: they are famous for the form as function, molded plywood and plastic chairs. I'll know I've made it when I finally own an Eames lounge chair. The Eames House was one of 25 "case study" projects overseen by the then publisher of an arts and architecture magazine. "The magazine announced that it would be a the client for a series of architect-design homes to be built and furnished using techniques and materials derived from the experiences of the second World War and best suited to express man's life in the modern world (taken from the the Eames House pamphlet). " I believe that it is the Eames' committment to art, creativity, and social relativity that has continued to make the Eames' designs and objects part of our collective consciousness. You still see their actual designs and influences everywhere! The house is yet another example of this: form, function, and art. They used pre-fab materials ordered off-the-shelf to create their beloved abode. The couple wanted to extend the house out into the meadow, but decided against it in the end because they loved the meadow out front too much and felt that building upon it would destroy the nature surrounding them: a far cry from some SoCal residents who want to tear down historic Neutra houses to build their garish gold mansions. Although you are not allowed into the actual house, they leave some of the doors open and entire sides of the house consists of windows so you are certainly welcome to peek in; you just sort of feel like a voyeur. You can also walk out onto the meadow and behold the gorgeous spectacle of a view that the Eames had. It doesn't take too much of your time to explore the outer edges of this sanctuary, but the inspiration and thoughtfulness behind the creation of this domicile will leave an impression on you. Other info: - call the above number to make a reservation - $5 suggested donation - you park on Corona del Mar (the next street up), directions are on their website

    This is a living museum, and exploring the grounds is worth it if you're already a fan of Charles & Ray Eames. You can look, but you can't photograph or go inside the building. I left extremely disappointed with my visit here or I would've given this place five stars. Five stars for the actual home and its historical significance... Two stars for the two people who work here (as I have experience better visiting the Gamble House) as I found these people here to be useless in helping understand more about this home and the architects. They more so are there to size you up to find out if you're worth speaking to and not a good representation of the foundation that supports the preservation of this building. It seems they pry and try to get information from you to find out if you're worth chatting with or offering your docent-lead tour or if they should just let you roam free to explore the grounds on your own. It was more so to tell me what I can and cannot do. It was a bit of let down that didn't tell me that I had the option to have a docent-lead tour which I expected, especially when I saw the docent spend more time with a group that arrived later. That group got the red carpet treatment and more attention from Dan, the docent there. When I arrived, they pretty much told me to go free and walk around the grounds not even telling much of anything, but only what I shouldn't do. They were only available to me if they had any questions after roaming the grounds. I originally saw the actual living space furniture on display at the LACMA so iI felt I revisited what I saw at the museum, but this time the interior inside the actual Eames home. I was told that the furniture was moved out for the first time for that exhibition I saw. After the my walk, I was more intrigued by Ray & Charles Eames that since I didn't get any info from the "docent", I bought an Eames book on Amazon to learn more about them. $10 to enter the grounds. If you're a fan of mid-century modern architecture or design, I highly recommend visiting. Go with low expectations of possibly not getting "chosen" or "screened" as good enough for the docent-lead tour and you'll leave happy. My experience felt like a trendy Hollywood club and for the first time, I felt like I was getting snubbed and not getting in on any of the action. You must call in advance to visit the grounds and park around the corner on Coronado del Mar. You can't go inside of the building but more so walk around it and if you're one of the chosen ones, you can get more information from their "docent".

Now, the upstairs offices are generally blocked off and all that is left is the what used to be. Certainly, the Bradbury Building came to fame during the 1982 movie, Blade Runner where it was used as one of their primary sets. This was long before it was renovated showing off it's truly unique interior architecture. Very beautiful! For a lot of years, this building was pretty much closed to the public except for those who used it as a filming location. Being involved in the film industry for a lot of years, I personally have been in this building a number of times throughout its evolution. More recently, somebody got the great idea to renovate it. I guess that's a good thing? But, in its current state, all that you see is a whole lot of tourists coming in there, even tour guides, taking people in there telling them all kinds of lies about the history of the building. They weren't there, so they don't know! Yet, they speak about it. Now, it's a modernized office structure. Yes, much of the interior metallurgy is still there -- reminiscent of the time gone past. But much the vibe of the building is long gone. That's sad, I think. So, if you're in DTLA, and you want to look back to the past, the Bradbury Building is a interesting place to do that. It's right across the street from Grand Central Market, so it's impossible to miss. You can pretty much go in there seven days a week, and though you'll be limited to staying on the first floor, you can take a look and see what once was. I would say it's definitely worth the expedition.

I grew up with, a sometimes scary but always fascinating place dominated by imposing physical structures of steel and concrete. The East L.A. Interchange and everything around it seemed intent on delivering millions of cars into and out of Downtown as brutally efficiently as possible, with no regard for the local neighborhoods (or the people who lived in them), the physical environment, or even the L.A. River itself. Unlike its flashy new neighbor the 6th Street Bridge and its closer and more crowded neighbor the 4th Street Bridge, the 1st Street Bridge always felt like the little-used last chance to cross the river before the busier (and confusing) Cesar Chavez Avenue (formerly Macy Street) Viaduct, not to mention Main Street much farther north. The construction of Metro's Gold Line (now the E Line) saved the bridge, in a way. Before the train tracks were laid across the span, there were five total lanes, with the center lane being one of those confusing ones that changes directions at certain times. Caltrans or L.A. Public Works or whoever couldn't seem to decide how wide to make the lanes, so they kept changing the sizes, possibly because the bridge originally had shoulders or three lanes in each direction? Now, there's one lane of motor-vehicle traffic heading westbound and two heading eastbound. All lanes are now permanent. There is a fairly well protected bike lane on the north side of the bridge, and the train tracks run in the middle. It's probably slower now, but because everyone knows it has three lanes total, fewer people probably use it. Or maybe GPS navigation has completely ruined the idea of people driving and not driving places because of their personal knowledge of situations there. In any case, driving westbound gives you the perfect view of Downtown L.A. My dad's side of the family has deep routes in Boyle Heights, so I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, as ugly as it probably is to most non-Angelenos.

    Hey Alexa, play the title track from the original Charmed series How Soon Is Now by the Smiths…read more "I am the son... And the heir..." as we park in this cozy historic neighborhood in Echo Park, Los Angeles, California and wait for Piper, Leo, Chris, Wyatt and Melinda to pop out and start their day. Maybe Paige, Henry, Phoebe and Coup will stop by and will catch some protect the innocent, save the world antiques in the attic... One can day dream. The Innes House also known as the Charmed House is a Victorian style home at 1329 Carroll Avenue that is truly one of kind and for eight years was heavily featured on the WB series Charmed from 1998 to 2006 and spotlighted again in the CW reboot of the same name in 2022 for its final episode. In the series the original address is listed as 7571 Prescott Street in San Francisco and is shortly updated to 1329 Prescott Street to reflect the actual number address on the home. For fans this residence was also known Halliwell Manor and for native, local, and transplant Angelinos it's unique craftsmanship, historical establishment (1887), and architecture is something to truly take in and enjoy along the Carroll Avenue Local Historic District of Echo Park. Just a beat/walkable feet down from the Michael Jackson Thriller House (also featured on Charmed like many homes in the neighborhood). You can snap a pic, selfie and/or take it in. Of course be mindful of the owners and current residents as this is their home and they've been getting fans for the past couple of decades stop by to do the very same. This beautiful home Historic Preservation home resides in a overlay zone (HPOZ) with zoning tools to preserve as well as protect neighborhoods composed of historically architecturally significant structures. It will live on like the legacy of the Charmed Ones.

    An interesting street--a cool house from a TV series. There are also interesting Victorian houses…read morenearby.

    This installation of Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Room - "The Souls of Millions of Light Years…read moreAway" is located at The Broad in Los Angeles. Tickets are FREE. To visit, you will need to reserve tickets to The Broad's general admission AND the Infinity Mirrored Room exhibit. I feel like if you're already going to The Broad you should also visit the Infinity Mirrored Room. I might be biased since I enjoy taking photos. The tricky thing is that the reservations for the Infinity Mirrored Room are released on the last Wednesdays of each month at 10am for the following month OR you have to keep an eye out for openings the day prior. They are currently not taking same day reservations. The reservations are time specific, but there will still be a 15-20 minute line. You can get in line 10-15 minute prior to your window slot and staff will probably not give you too hard of a time. You are expected to go in together with your group, unless you make reservations separately. If you want to go in alone for that selfie, you should make your own reservation. The maximum group size to enter together is 4 people. Any children under 13 must enter with an adult. Obviously, my boyfriend was dragged to go with me. Before our visit, I was researching what poses to do since the time is so limited. And then when we were in line I gave him a quick run down of the plan. It worked out nicely and we were able to take a few photos, a quick video and still had a few seconds to actually enjoy the art installation beyond the selfie taking purposes. This experience was very special for me. I think the careful planning and taking feedback from others allowed me to enjoy my visit. One minute can go by quick if you wait to get inside the room to coordinate your poses. And coming with someone I care about makes it even more memorable.

    On Friday afternoon, my family and I reserved tickets for the Infinity Room next to The Broad…read moremuseum in Downtown LA. Just a heads up, you'll need to book in advance if you want to secure a time slot to see the infinity room. We picked the 3:45 PM slot and waited about 5-10 minutes before entering. There's no food, drinks, or flash photography allowed (which makes sense). To be honest, I was a little surprised by how small the Infinity Room actually is. It's just a tiny platform you stand on surrounded by mirrors so be careful not to get too close to the edges. I think the photos online made it seem much bigger and more "galaxy-like," so I had different expectations going in You're only inside for about five minutes before it's time to exit for the next group. Still, it was a cool experience to check off the list and afterward we walked around The Broad, which made it a fun afternoon overall. I'm very grateful for the memories my family and I got to make together! Quick Note: If you get hungry, Grand Central Market is close by and has a great variety of food spots to choose from! Your welcome!!
