    Mid-20th century architecture has gained a huge following in L.A. and the uncomplicated glass-walled houses designed by Richard Neutra are well-known, if only through photographs. But how to get inside of them?

    Neutra House exterior

    The VDL Research house, located at 2300 Silverlake Blvd., was built by Neutra in 1932. His three sons were raised there and he designed many more houses in the Silverlake neighborhood. The house burned down but was rebuilt by Neutra with his son Dion Neutra in 1964. The 1939 garden home in the rear is original.
