The Kronish House is one of only three Richard Neutra designs ever built in Beverly Hills and is the only one that survives intact. Real estate developer Herbert Kronish and his wife Hazel purchased the property from Shirley Temple in the early 1950s and hired seminal Modernist architect Richard Neutra to design their home at the site. The result is a spectacular International Style house with a pinwheel-shaped design, only one story in height, but large in scale. At nearly 7,000 square feet, it is Neutra's largest residential design in Southern California and possibly his largest in North America. The home features three wings that radiate out from a glass-enclosed garden area visible from multiple rooms, and is dominated by glass walls that bring the outdoors in at every opportunity. Its clean horizontal lines and fine finishes give it a formal, villa-like feel, enhanced by the rear patio and pool also designed by Neutra. (LA Conservancy website)
