Property Description

The Derby House - Lloyd Wright, 1926 National Landmark | Glendale Landmark | Mills Act Designated. Set on a unique expanse of land in Glendale's historic Chevy Chase Canyon, the Derby House offers not just architectural significance, but a deeply atmospheric landscape. The property unfolds across gently undulating terrain dotted with quiet clearings and shaded corners. Built in 1926 and recently designated under the Mills Act, the home is among the earliest examples of concrete textile block construction an architectural system later championed by Wright's father, Frank Lloyd Wright. Each hand-cast block was designed to shape not just the structure but the experience of time casting shadows that shift with the day and giving a quiet rhythm to the light.The Derby House is defined by its artistry: original wrought iron railings echoing the form of the agave plant, custom stonework influenced by Navajo textile patterns, and richly crafted wood mouldings that frame the space with warmth. Even the patinated doorways and inlaid metal handles carry the mark of theatricality, nodding to the drama and set design of 1920s Los Angeles a period when architecture, film, and fantasy were deeply intertwined. At one point, the interior walls were gilded in gold paint, a luminous gesture meant to echo the California sun and infuse the rooms with a kind of quiet spectacle.Designed at a time when Lloyd Wright was in dialogue with both his father's practice and other contemporaries, the Derby House anticipates many of the architectural ideas that would define the next generation of California modernism. From the innovative use of sunscreens (introduced here four years before Le Corbusier's similar experiments in Algiers), to the diagonal library mezzanine a formal gesture that reappears in later works by Frank Lloyd Wright the home holds a critical place in the evolution of West Coast design.What makes the Derby House so rare is not just its legacy, but its potential. Many of its original details remain untouched, waiting for a thoughtful hand to complete its next chapter. It's not merely a piece of history it's an invitation to become part of it.
