NOT a Case Study House, but this Craig Ellwood crib is on the block for $885,000. What are the chances we could all pool our money together and buy it as an ILE clubhouse?

This 1949 mid-century modern is in the northern end of Bel Air close to Mulholland Drive off of Beverly Glen.

sorry, mulholland drive terrifies me. expect some tragic accidents on the way to the clubhouse.

Used to drive past the Ellwood house on Beverly Glen three times a week. It's a great place, but traffic on Beverly Glen is so terrible it's impossible to stop there.

Anyone see the Shulman documentary yet?

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 26 February 2010 23:02 (fifteen years ago)

I'm going tonite

― henry s, Friday, 26 February 2010 23:09 (fifteen years ago)

where's it showing?

― shiksa kabab (get bent), Saturday, 27 February 2010 00:35 (fifteen years ago)

I saw it in Cambridge, MA.

― henry s, Saturday, 27 February 2010 14:05 (fifteen years ago)

It's worth seeing. They had a whole segment (as you can imagine) on House #22 and the famous photograph. I never knew that the two women in the picture were the girlfriends of architects employed by Koenig, and that they were just talking, unaware that they were being photographed.

― henry s, Saturday, 27 February 2010 14:08 (fifteen years ago)

I thought the Shulman doc was OK - the House #22 segment was probably the only really great one in the film. It was kind of a shame that they spent so much time on talking head shots rather than doing voiceovers on the actual photographs. And I thought the motion graphics were really poorly done and intrusive. Great content, great interviews, poor editing choices.
