Very cool house, but I agree with several other Yelp reviewers that it's not a great house to tour. You pay $10 for a self-guided tour of the house (they give you a short pamphlet with information about the house). The house is very small, not in great shape, and not furnished. Worse - it was filled with an exhibit that blocked what little of the house you can see. It may be an interesting house, but it's not a great tour, and I don't think it's worth the $10 admission. Too bad.

Ignore the pompous snobs who sniffed at this place. I loved it! It's gorgeous and you can stand there in Schindler's office and stare at his desk and chair. The friendly docent filled in the details. A lovely gem

First and foremost do not go here if you are looking for restored house ! This is about being one of the first tilt up kind of construction houses and the architecture. I felt that we are lucky to have this in the area and is defiantly worth the visit. This is one of the earliest modernist open style houses that is still standing! Schindler owned a lot of real estate but this is a place he lived in and there is a lot of history here. If you are lucky enough to get a guild I would suggest trying to time it so you get a tour. This place is about the history and style for which it stand for.

I've seen this house plenty of times in my textbooks and finally got a chance to see it in person. The fact that they allow you to touch and interact w/ such a monumental (to me at least :)) piece of architecture is well worth the visit. I've visited places like The Hollyhock House by FLW and CSH No. 8 by Eames and the experience was just not the same. I'm so appreciative they've set up and allowed visitors to tour the space in this way knowing the possibilities of wear and tear. Still a beautiful planned home w/ an even more exceptional landscape. The uses of bamboo and hedges create interesting alcoves and pathways that make you want to stay there forever. Left feeling inspired!

An unique hidden gem last year I visited in West Hollywood. Artistic architecture design. Reminds me of a Japanese style house.

High Tower is a hidden gem of Los Angeles, minutes away from Highland. It's a place you need to…read morelove the city in order to discover it and enjoy its beauty. It takes research and preparation and it's worth it! My husband loves movies like "The Long Goodbye" and "Dead Again", LA based thrillers, so that's how we discovered High Tower Elevator because they used it as a location for these cool films. So we looked into it. More trivia, it is mentioned by Michael Connelly in his novels ("Echo Park) and he used to live here, cool, tight? Hard to find parking in the area, but since we got tickets for the Bowl and we were parked in their lot, we figured we should take advantage and walk to it. Just a few minutes walk, from Highland, we took a right on Camrose and another right on High Tower Drive and here you are! If you want to see it closer, take a right on Los Altos (stairs) and another right on Broadview Terrace and you will be able to see the building and the elevator closer up! A quick hike up the stairs, nothing really. At 2200 Broadview Terrace, there's a Frank Lloyd Wright House, the Otto Bolman House. Lots of hidden gems, art deco beauties around, great views of the city and of the hills around. There is even a bench to sit, relax, admire the beauty around. Fun excursion in our own city where there's always something new to discover, something unique and original. The elevator is for residents only, but it was fun to see it. The tower is inspired by Italian campaniles, built in the 20's. Great slice of LA history, always great to dig deep and find great places off the beaten path!

Stunning and romantic. Transport yourself to Italy at the turn of the 20th century. But be warned,…read morein order to ride the lift you need a magical key.
