Club James Goldstein, complete overview and walkthrough 

Thank you for admiration of the video. I feel honored to get a message of the architects. Yes, its my aim to educate people about the works by Lautner and F.L Wright. Great that you're restoring the Schwimmer House, its a beutifull home, I made also video about it. I will definitely send you a message for a video about any of your projects. :)

really...really great story! Thank you for sharing this wonderfull story. I never had to change to meet him and never had an autograph. I started this channel to share more information about him, like you I always was dissapointed that there was so little information available about Lautner, he deserves more attention : I hope this youtube channel contributes in giving him recognition.

I've got several stories to share. In my desire to learn and understand what kind of architecture Mr. Lautner was doing, I used my copy of his monograph to try and locate the actual addresses of his houses. I'd look up names of clients in the old phone books in the LA Library and find likely addresses that I could then check out. I wanted to see what I could and also compile a list of all these addresses to share with anyone interested in his work. One such house eluded me for a while, not sure if I had the right address. I went there one evening after work and sure enough it was a Lautner. While standing on the sidewalk out front looking at the design, both owners of the house arrived in separate cars at the same time. I introduced myself and I had brought along with me the monograph to explain why I was there. The wife was terrified that some stranger was lingering outside her house. Then the man explained why; he was a professor who worked at UCLA's psychiatric department and his wife held a worry some crazy patient might show up one day. Because of the monograph they invited me in, showed me the house and we sat on the couch for three hours looking at Lautner's book together page by page. They loved it and had yet to get their own copy. They were very nice.

Is there a bunker?

Birds of a Flock, what? Jeffrey Epstein did not delete himself

This isn't a house by Lautner. The club has some great design features but I am 100% agree with you that the Cocannon should have been preserved.

Yes, the club looks great but I think it would be great if it was constructed somewhere else and the Concannon house was maintained and preserved. The club looks like John Lautner but Lautner's designs was more subtle and stylish... Still a spectaculair design.

You're welcome! i was doubting about making this video because it's not true John Lautner design and the demolishing of the concannon broke the hearts of many Lautner fans. Still I decided to do it: because it is an interesting imitation of Lautner's style. It shows his influence on it other architects.

Very well spoken! the new painting is very good but still it's a waste that the old one has been erased. Hopefully the Concannon House will be rebuilt someday.

Yes, but that is has the feeling of a dungeon... that just a matter of taste, other people feel that it's building up tension when descent the stair towards the large open space of the club.

Yes , if I could travel back in time I would have visit James Goldstein and would advise him to leave the Concannon House in place. The nightclub still has some great qualities so I would love to see it built somewhere else.

Yes, we all must have a party in that club. I can't wait.

Yes.

I someway I agree with you, but still it's an interesting project: because a John Lautner house was demolished for it and it has many references to John Lautner designs. Whether someone likes it or not: it needs a closer look to see how john Lautner can influence other architects. The next 5 videos will be about true John Lautner designs I promise......:) (so please forgive me)

James Goldstein has a large network of celebrities. He loves basketball and if friends with many famous basketball players.

Haha.. true!

Oh Thanks! I didn't knew that, but I googled it on the internet and I red the wikipedia article, interesting, I'd never heard of it.

Yes that was exactly what I also would have suggested to mr. Goldstein: use the original house as a club. The new building has offended many Lautner fans, still it's an project interesting enough to make video about.
