Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, designed for the heiress and progressive thinker Aline Barnsdall, is one of the world’s most famous residences. Although the exterior walls appear to be of concrete, they are actually made of hollow clay tiles covered in stucco. The structure reflects Wright’s interest in pre-Columbian, particularly Mayan, architecture.
