Clearly Gehry Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

WildQuest: After years of being a part of the Santa Monica geocaching community, we have moved away and regret that we need to archive Clearly Gehry. Please reach out if you live nearby and wish to take it over. As one of the few caches in the area large enough for trade-ables, it was a favorite for younger cachers.

Geocache Description:

This is a small official geocache container and also is our first ever placed geocache. It has been covered with camo tape to make it harder to find, but is still not too hard!

This cache is right across the street from the house of the great architect, Frank Gehry. (Do not disturb!)  He designed some of the most interesting buildings created over the last 50 years including the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and Dancing House in Prague. And this interesting house!
 
The Academy of achievement website says, "Gehry found a creative outlet in rebuilding his own home, converting what he called "a dumb little house with charm" into a showplace for a radically new style of domestic building. He took common, unlovely elements of American homebuilding, such as chain link fencing, corrugated aluminum and unfinished plywood, and used them as flamboyant expressive elements, while stripping the interior walls of the house to reveal the structural elements… Gehry's house attracted serious critical attention and he began to employ more imaginative elements in his commercial work. A series of public structures in and around Los Angeles marked his evolution away from orthodox modernist practice, including the Frances Goldwyn Branch Library in Hollywood, the California Aerospace Museum and the Loyola University Law School." 

Please replace EXACTLY as found as cache is visible from most other angles.
