This Sunday, The John Lautner Foundation will host an exclusive event at the Harpel Residence in the Hollywood Hills. Completed in 1956, the house has undergone a painstaking two-year renovation by owner Mark Haddawy. Tickets are still available, but hurry. Proceeds from the evening will go to the foundation's preservation fund, making it a doubly wonderful occassion.
Aside from an intimate tour of the home, there's an auction of rare Lautner memorabilia. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet Leonard Malin and Ken Reiner, Lautner's clients for the Chemosphere (1960) and Silvertop (1963) residences, respectively.
When: Sunday, July 24, 2011
Where: Harpel Residence
Tickets: $250
6:00 pm, Home tour
7:00 pm, Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, awards presentation and auction
