White walls & date-fig-walnut balls. Scenes from the 90th anniversary celebrations, in December 2019, of this iconic landmark built by Richard Neutra for naturopathic doctor Philip M. Lovell and his family in 1929.
The sold-out anniversary celebrations, organized by Lyra Kilston and Josh Gorrell, featured sunset house tours, talks, and homemade vegetarian treats from Dr. Lovell’s book Diet for Health by Natural Methods, first published in the early 1920s.
“Ballies” made from dates, walnuts, and dried figs. Recipe from Leah Lovell’s cookbook, attributed to their housekeeper, Mrs. Westerman.
