The Eames House

The Eames House is a historic landmark from the middle of the 19th century and is situated at 203 North Chautauqua Boulevard in Los Angeles. It is a historical site with contemporary architecture that receives more than 20,000 visitors a year and is being maintained by the Eames Foundation. In the year 2006, the Eames House was added to the United States' list of National Historic Landmarks. Case Study House No. 8 is another name for the Eames residence. It was commissioned by Arts & Architecture magazine as a part of a project that tasked architects with creating affordable yet modern residences in Southern California. Originally owned by husband and wife design pioneers Charles and Ray Eames, it was passed down to their daughter Lucia Eames as a non-profit organization and museum after their passing.

Visitors can self-guide their tour of the outside for $10; bookings are necessary. By parking a few blocks away and ascending the steep driveway. Interior tours are more challenging to find: An appreciation day for members is always planned around the Eames' birthday on June 20. Anyone may reserve a private tour for an hour ($275/$200 for members), but if you're a true admirer of Charles and Ray Eames, you might want to spend more money on the lunch for four in the meadow ($750/$675 for members).
