The Derby House
2535 EAST CHEVY CHASE DRIVE, GLENDALE | $2,495,000 | 5 Bed | 2 Baths
A chance to restore one of L.A.’s most iconic pieces of architecture. 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.
