The Mayan concrete blocks and other elements of the architecture were recreated in the movie studio as Deckard’s apartment, so it’s mostly a fake Ennis House.
Eva, you’re right, I do see some similarity. Same temple/mausoleum/museum feel.

I shall have to dig out my copy and take a closer look.

I have always been puzzled by this building. The individual blocks are interesting and do have obvious reference points to Central America, but it all seems to be put together so sluggishly and with little or no finesse. It reminds me very much of a 1960s/1970s self-build using patio blocks. Is that perhaps being a little unkind to the memory of FLW? I do love your stained glass though Mr Wright!
