Description
Case Study House #17 was built in 1956 by Craig Ellwood on a lot along Hidden Valley Road in Beverly Hills. It was a modern design, of plywood, steel, brick, and glass, like many of the other Case Study houses. But in 1962, John Woolf purchased the house and remade it into his signature Hollywood Regency style. The post and beam vertical elements were wrapped in Doric columns, the large glass front door was replaced with an oversized solid 'Pullman' door, and the interior rooms were also changed.
