The Moore House by Lloyd Wright | Demolished

The Moore House by Lloyd Wright
504 Paseo del Mar Palos Verdes, CA 90274

by Stephen Russo

The remarkable Moore House, designed by architect Lloyd Wright was built in 1959. Ideally located in Palos Verdes Estates, a quaint beach town just outside of Los Angeles. The Moore House been referred to as a unique, irreplaceable, and an extraordinarily significant modernist residence. Palos Verdes, like many other cities, has no preservation ordinance in place. So, despite great efforts from the Los Angeles Conservancy, and hundreds of letters from locals, the home still demolished on April 25, 2021.
