But This is My Home - One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse.

One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse. My husband and I moved into the Kallis House in Los Angeles six years ago. It was designed in 1946 by the modernist architect Rudolph Schindler, and it's believed by many, including Frank Gehry, to be among Schindler's best.

The interior is an unfolding series of surprising angles, with a wonderful wide view of the San Fernando Valley.
