Place to stay
The Desert Hot Springs
Motel, also known as the Lautner Motel, was designed
by Lautner and is open for business. Foundation members are
given a discount on rates. The wonder is that this four-unit
motel is available to anyone! Call or write for reservations.
There is no office, so you cannot drive there and book a
room on the spur of the moment.
Photographs
The Foundation's archive contains many photographs, but the
Foundation does not hold the rights to most of them. To obtain
photographs of Lautner buildings, contact the photographers
directly.

Tours
The Foundation does not usually provide addresses or maps to
Lautner homes, because most of the homeowners want to maintain
their privacy. However, there are sources available for those
interested in viewing these homes from the street. Perhaps the
most helpful is this guide:
Los
Angeles: An Architectural Guide, by David Gebhard
and Robert Milton Winter
There are also tour companies that specialize in architectural
tours:
Architecture
Tours LA
Tours d'Art
And there are sites that offer more information for self-guided
touring (Thank you, Martin Daoust, for these links):

Commercial and personal film opportunities:
The Foundation does not serve as an agent for the owners of Lautner
buildings. Negotiations for the use of particular buildings must
be made through the owners or their agents.
The Sheats-Goldstein residence has been used often for this
purpose. To obtain permission to film or otherwise use that
residence, please contact the owner through his website at http://www.jamesfgoldstein.com.
Some other residences may be available through
Books
If you order these books or any other
books or products through these links to Amazon.com,
a percentage of the sale will go to the Foundation:
