Dodge House designed by Irving Gill in 1914 and finished two years later was the first real modernist residence in the West.

Astonishing house spreading out on almost 2000 m2 on three acres of land was situated right in the heart of West Hollywood. Dear Esther is an artistic approach to remember the pursuit for saving this remarkable building destroyed by developers in 1970.
