See the lights of Los Angeles from the famous Mid-Century Stahl house

Also known as Case Study House No. 22, this Pierre Koenig masterpiece of minimalist modernism was built in 1959, but when it was photographed in 1960 by architectural photographer Julius Shulman, it became a sensation. It still is. And now you can visit it. There are late afternoon and evening viewings (check the website to confirm times and buy tickets). The evening showing is  especially wonderful, as you and a very small group of people can watch the sun go down and the magical lights of Los Angeles far below come on and twinkle as far as the eye can see: the quintessential L.A. experience. Not to be missed.  Here is the link for the Stahl House website: http://www.stahlhouse.com/
