Frank Lloyd Wright Original Ennis House Textile Brick Fragment from1920s. RAREST

Description

For sale - Original Textile brick fragment from Frank Lloyd Wright's stunning Ennis House. I live in the Los Feliz neighborhood and in the mid-2000's the house underwent massive renovations due to structural and erosion issues. To my shock, huge amounts of the original bricks were just being tossed into dumpsters and carted away to the dump. I asked the foreman overseeing the project if I could have a few of the bricks in the dumpster and he agreed. I've enjoyed them for many years but now have decided to downsize and to part with this one.
The brick fragment is made of cast decomposed granite and clearly shows Wright's classic design. The brick measures 12" x 9" x 4.5" and weighs approximately 26 pounds.
The brick comes with a letter of provenance from me. Please ask any questions in advance of bidding. Sold as is.  And please check out my other listings as I'm downsizing my extensive collection of memorabilia.
More about the house:
The Ennis House is a residential dwelling in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States, south of Griffith Park. The home was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Charles and Mabel Ennis in 1923 and was built in 1924.
Following La
Miniatura in Pasadena and the Storer and Freeman
Houses in the Hollywood Hills  of
Los Angeles, the structure is the fourth and largest of Wright's textile block d
esigns, constructed primarily of interlocking pre-cast concrete blocks
in the northern Los Angeles area.
The design is based on ancient Maya  temples,
and along with other buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, such as the A.D. German Warehouse in Wisconin and Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House in Hollywood, the Ennis House is sometimes referred to as an example of the Mayan Revival architecture. Its prominent detail is the relief ornamentation on its 27,000 perforated and patterned decomposed granite blocks,
inspired by the symmetrical reliefs of Puuc architecture in Uxmal.
The Ennis House is a designated city, state, and national landmark. From 2011 until 2019, it was owned by billionaire Ronald Burkle.
