The unique, Mayan-inspired Sowden House in Los Feliz, designed by Lloyd Wright, is an architectural marvel with a deeply disturbing potential connection. It was once owned by Dr. George Hodel, a prime suspect in the infamous, unsolved 1947 Black Dahlia murder of Elizabeth Short. His own son accused him, suggesting the murder may have occurred in the house. While unproven, the association casts a dark pall over the property. Its imposing, almost temple-like facade and the sinister allegations make it an undeniably eerie Hollywood landmark, steeped in one of Tinseltown's most chilling mysteries.
