	Lloyd Wright The James Daniel Derby House 2535 E Chevy Chase Dr, Glendale, CA $2,495,000 The Derby House - Lloyd Wright, 1926 National Landmark \| Glendale Landmark \| Mills Act Designated. Set on a unique expanse of land in Glendales historic Chevy Chase Canyon, the Derby House offers not just architectural significance, but a deeply atmospheric landscape. The property unfolds across gently undulating terrain dotted with quiet clearings and shaded corners. Built in 1926 and recently designated under the Mills Act, the home is among the earliest examples of concrete textile block construction an architectural system later championed by Wrights father, Frank Lloyd Wright. Each hand-cast block was designed to shape not just the structure but the experience of time casting shadows that shift with the day and giving a quiet rhythm to the light.The Derby House is defined by its artistry: original wrought iron railings echoing the form of the agave plant, custom stonework influenced by Navajo textile patterns, and richly crafted wood mouldings that frame the space with warmth. Even the patinated doorways and inlaid metal handles carry the mark of theatricality, nodding to the drama and set design of 1920s Los Angeles a period when architecture, film, and fantasy were deeply intertwined. At one point, the interior walls were gilded in gold paint, a luminous gesture meant to echo the California sun and infuse the rooms with a kind of quiet spectacle.Designed at a time when Lloyd Wright was in dialogue with both his fathers practice and other contemporaries, the Derby House anticipates many of the architectural ideas that would define the next generation of California modernism. From the innovative use of sunscreens (introduced here four years before Le Corbusiers similar experiments in Algiers), to the diagonal library mezzanine a formal gesture that reappears in later works by Frank Lloyd Wright the home holds a critical place in the evolution of West Coast design.What makes the Derby House so rare is not just its legacy, but its potential.

This home is more than a residence, its a triumph of resilience, a rebirth born from loss, and a bold architectural statement grounded in safety, serenity, and soul that was built to endure and designed to inspire. After the 2018 Woolsey Fire swept through Malibu, the land where 5782 Calpine now stands was reduced to bare earth. The owners were undeterred and viewed their land like a blank canvas filled with possibility and purpose. The owners were determined to build back better and rebuilt not just a house, but a new model for what home can mean in a wildfire-prone world. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modernist retreat surrounded with equestrian trails was built with precision-engineering, fire-resistant materials and elevated with an on-site generator and was built to protect and inspire. With its soaring ceilings and steel beams, glass-framed living areas, and sweeping ocean, mountain and canyon views, 5782 Calpine is a celebration of light, space and nature. Yet beneath its minimalist beauty lies a deeply considered sanctuary, crafted to stand strong without compromising warmth or style. Strategic landscaping enhances both fire safety and aesthetics, while the thoughtful floor plan blends indoor-outdoor living from sunrise to sunset each hour of the day fills the home with natural light and serenity. Your Malibu Way of life begins here, in a sanctuary perched on 1.2 acres in the serene Malibu Park equestrian neighborhood just moments from beaches and top-rated schools. This home is more than an address, its an invitation to begin again with intention. Resilient. Refined. Ready. 5782 Calpine is a beacon of whats possible when strength meets vision. read more »
