The Lovell Health House is at the edge of Griffith Park. The depression-era home was built in 1929 and was completely radical for its time. It’s a white stucco and metal frame home, built in the sleek international style. The Austrian immigrant architect Richard Neutra designed it for a physician and naturopath named Dr Philip Lovell. It was meant for healthy living.
