This was the first of 3 levels of approval we need before Taix is officially protected, and the next steps will not be easy as they require the full City Council to weigh in, it will go next to the PLUM Committee. We feel confident that the groundswell of support for this iconic LA Legacy Business will bring a good outcome for our community. Please visit our GoFundMe page to help us save Taix! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f28c5acb576066faea3919b/1619451918402-R1WYM7L3OFFV73L76Z3K/Stires+from+Google+Earth.png News - Update on STIRES: Although our nomination (which was approved by the Cultural Heritage Commission) was voted down at PLUM and the City Council, we are not giving up on the Stires Staircase Bungalow Court! The PLUM and City Council meetings were highly irregular and we have submitted a Cure and Correct letter to the City Attorney, an action which was supported by the Echo Park Neighborhood Council and other neighborhood groups. We are now strategizing about alternative routes to preservation. We are looking into the environmental impacts of the proposed development, especially with regard to the geology of the site. The developer has expressed an openness to selling the property to a preservation-minded developer, and we have at least one investor who is interested. Please consider a donation to help save these bungalows, We will keep you posted! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f28c5acb576066faea3919b/1619458989708-TK45OFW6MP65IXSKUOAO/Screen+Shot+2021-04-26+at+10.42.47+AM.png News - Atwater Bungalows taken under consideration At its January 21st meeting, the Cultural Heritage Commission voted to consider the amazing Atwater Bungalows for Historic-Cultural Monument status. The nomination from the Echo Park Historical Society was prepared by local preservationist John Wingler and supported by the Silver Lake Heritage Trust. The Bungalows were designed by Robert Stacy-Judd, who designed many notable buildings in the Mayan motif, including the Aztec Motel in Monrovia, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. This unique Echo Park courtyard reflects the Pueblo Revival Style in the form of a Hopi Village, and has been featured in American Bungalow Magazine as the architect's "purest, quirkiest expression" of all-American architecture drawn from Pre-Columbian sources. The bungalows are still owned and beautifully maintained by the Atwater family.
