Save the Neutra House

Richard Neutra is one of the primary architects responsible for the modern home movement. Unfortunately his own residence (VDL Research House) located in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles is in a state of disrepair.

This is a sad commentary on a city and a neighborhood that prides itself on modern architecture. The "Neutra" name is used to sell homes throughout the area but the most "Neutra" of all homes has been left in decay.

We are now a culture of ten minute propaganda that lasts for several years. Fashionable gossip creates heroes and zeros because it benefits someone somewhere in the background and nobody asks anymore questions. Watching the 2300 E Silver Lake Blvd. dissolve is a regretful development. Not everything is replaceable. You can help to save this cultural Landmark. By spreading the word and mobilizing the community.

This group is doing their part to restore this home to it's original state.

Concern people should do something about this. It would be an honor to be part of a group who will renovate the house of Richard Neutra.

This is a horrifying state of affairs. Thanks for mentioning the group that is trying to do something about it - I just visited their website as I would like to support their efforts, and was pleased to see that they were able to meet their first $30K challenge and are now onto the next one (equally urgent, but the good news is that some people, at least, are paying attention!)
