Real estate investor James F. Goldstein, a John Lautner fan and owner of a Lautner-designed home in Beverly Hills,
commissioned him to design the office in 1987. It was the only such space ever designed by the architect, who died seven
years later. Goldstein lost his lease when a law firm in the building at 10100 Santa Monica Blvd. sought to acquire the entire
20th floor for its own use. Members of the John Lautner Foundation, a 10-year-old group that celebrates the architect's
legacy, tried without success to persuade the firm to preserve the space. Gary Friedman photos.

Acclaimed Modernist John Lautner gave a Hollywood Hills house he designed in 1956 the name of its owner, Willis
"Bill" Harpel. It was a common practice to name houses for their owners, but in this case, Harpel earned it. Alongside master
builder John de la Vaux, Harpel worked as a subcontractor, pouring "all the concrete himself," Lautner wrote in "John
Lautner, Architect," published by Princeton Architectural Press. Michael McCreary photos.

An article in The Arts on Mar 15, 2007 about a plan by the director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,
Michael Govan, to collect pieces of significant residential architecture referred incorrectly to the ownership of an office
designed by the architect John Lautner, which the museum intends to install both as an exhibit and for use by Govan. It is on
longterm loan to the museum from the John Lautner Foundation, which owns the work; the museum did not acquire it for an
undisclosed amount. The article also misstated the title of a book published by the museum in 1965. It is "A Guide to
Architecture in Southern California," not "A Guide to Southern California Architecture."
