Hi Ralph - Barnsdall is a real treasure in the city of Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, I haven't been there in years -- would like to see the renovations that have taken place as well as a visit to see Hollyhock House again.  You've reminded me to put it on my list of things to for this year.   Thanks.
