Huntington
Hartford Cottage Group Center, Scheme II, Hollywood, CA (1948 Project) |
|
|
|
Set of 10 original blueprints for the Huntington Hartford
Cottage Group Center, Scheme II. Huntington Hartford was
born into one of the wealthiest families in the United
States on April 18, 1911. His grandfather, founded the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A&P) in 1859. At the age
of 12, he inherited $90 million, the equivalent of nearly
$1.25 billion in today's dollars. In 1942 Huntington
Hartford purchased a 160 acres estate in the Hollywood
Hills. In 1947 he commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design
a resort for the property which developed into five
projects. 1. Cottage Group Center, Scheme I (4721); 2.
Huntington Hartford House (4724); 3. Sports Club and Play
Resort (4731); 4. The Stables (4737); and in January, 1948,
5. Cottage Group Hotel Scheme II (4837). Assisting Wright
with the project as the landscape architect was Lloyd
Wright, his son who had offices in Hollywood. Wright
presented plans for the projects in October |
|
1947. The hotel-resort was for members only, and
designed to accommodate 130 guests. Wright placed the
cottage units on the western slopes of the canyon and named
it the Cottage Group Center, because of the nature of the
cottage groupings rather than a single hotel building. Three
months later, in January 1948, Wright totally revised the
plans with Scheme II. The major difference was moving the
whole complex from the West side of the canyon to the East
side. Wright reasoned that morning sun cast on the western
slopes would give the guests a more agreeable view of the
opposite side of the canyon in the morning. Wright also
scaled down the size, reducing accommodations from 130 to 78
guests. Neighborhood opposition put the project on hold, and
never gained enough traction to start up again. Note: The
levels of this scheme are identified by the topographic
numbers on the various levels. |

major difference was moving the whole complex from the West
side of the canyon to the East side. Wright reasoned that
morning sun cast on the western slopes would give the guests
a more agreeable view of the opposite side of the canyon in
the morning. As you enter the property, you pass through a
set of Wright designed gates. Wright also moved the Sports
Club from the East ridge to the West ridge which can |
|
be seen on the top left corner. This design retained the
cottage concept as in the first, thus The Cottage Group
Center. These cottages were terraced on the canyon hillside
and included cantilevered terraces and gardens, bedrooms,
sitting rooms and kitchenettes. The main portion of the
complex included the registration and lobby, offices,
lounge, dining pavilion, café, sun terraces, patios and
gardens. Wright transformed the eastern side of the canyon
while leaving the view of the western slope in its natural
state. Scheme II was dated January 1948, and he placed the
red square on the right corner of the plans versus the
original left side of Scheme I. Original blueprint.

Frank Lloyd Wright
originally presented the plans for the Cottage Group Center
Scheme I, in October, 1947. Three months later, in January
1948, Wright totally revised the plans with Scheme II. The
major difference was moving the whole complex from the West
side of the canyon to the East side. Wright reasoned that
morning sun cast on the western slopes would give the guests
a more agreeable view of the opposite side of the canyon in
the morning. |

Text: "Sections. Cottage Group Center. For Huntington
Hartford. Frank Lloyd Wright Architect. Lloyd Wright

through "E - E." A - A is on the top left, C - C is on the
top right, E - E is in the center, D - D is on the bottom
left, and B - B is on the bottom right. On the plans, the
cross sections run from North to South: B - B; C - C; A - A
in the center; E - E; D - D on the South. Of interest is B -
B, the |
