A compact hillside residence by Albert Frey, accessible through designated tours and special events instead of regular drop-in hours.
Admission is limited to designated tours and special events. Follow the ticket's check-in, meeting, or shuttle instructions instead of driving to the house directly. The exposed San Jacinto hillside also calls for water, sun protection, and a forecast check.
Why it made the guide
The house's position among granite boulders shows how Frey's modernist design responds to the hillside, and the elevated site adds views over the city.
