Frank Lloyd Wright built the Ennis House in 1924 for Charles and Mabel Ennis using about 27,000 patterned concrete "textile blocks" cast on site from decomposed granite, a system he hoped would make beautiful houses cheap. The blocks absorbed water, and the steel inside rusted. The 1994 Northridge earthquake and the 2005 rains nearly finished it, and repairs have run into the tens of millions. Its distinctive block design was incorporated into the constructed set for Deckard's apartment in Blade Runner, and its exterior appeared in House on Haunted Hill.
