In 2012, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House sold for $4.5 million dollars, a deal at 30% ofthe initial listing price. Built into the sale was the fateful condition: that the owner becommitted to “complete rehabilitation of this irreplaceable icon.” While architects, preservationists and cult fans find themselves nostalgic about the edifice, the marketplaces little to no value on the property. It begs the question how does one rehab an intentional ruin?
