This was a house that was meant to be built. The stars aligned in so many ways. The Stahls dreamed about buying that lot, though they didn't think they could afford it. One day they decided to drive up to it on a whim. The owner happened to show up and sold them the property, carrying back the note. They had trouble hiring an architect. They wound up with the best one possible, Peter Koenig. Then they had trouble getting financing. Finally a Black owned finance company was willing to underwrite a loan, provided they also build a pool, to increase the value of the home. Could you imagine this house without a pool? And then there was Julius Schulman and his photograph. Magical in every way!

One sad thing... the overlook of Sunset gives you a view of CVS, but in the 1950s it would have been Googie's first coffee shop, a Lautner masterpiece nestled in tight next to Schwab's.. It was Googie's that kick started the modernist 'mid-century' commercial architecture movement in Los Angeles.

He did live in it for his entire childhood. Now he's preserving it and sharing it with others. I think that's inspiring.

Not possible without Paul r Williams, the most famous black architect in history. But these silly story's leave this fact out, I won't. Without Paul r Williams, there would be no stahl house-period.

Nice house, although I don’t know I’d want walls of glass, as there isn’t much privacy. Not to mention all the sun coming in and fading everything, including those beautiful Eames pieces.

Was this the "Prescription Murder" (Peter Falk 1968) movie house?

Wasn’t this the house where Leo DiCaprio was having a Boogaloo 1960’s party in the movie “Catch Me If You Can”??
