Lautner's Concannon Residence

.

A few years ago i've been lucky to have dinner with James Goldstein in Paris, this guy dispite of this look is very shy and sensitive.  He loves architecture and art and thats enough for me.

John Lautner's Concannon Residence, designed in 1960, was built in a blurry area contested by the cities of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, with BH having the post office address but not collecting the property taxes.

Strangely, the Concannon Residence was demolished by its eccentric owner James Goldstein, to make place for Lautner designed additions to the Sheats/Goldstein House, on the adjacent lot, a masterpiece of the architect, which Mr. Goldstein also owned since 1972, and values with an obsession. The erasure of the Concannon Residence is the result of those planned improvements for the more famous and fortunate Goldstein Residence.
