Landmark Status Granted for Santa Monica's ‘Airplane Bungalow' Against Owners Wishes

SANTA MONICA - Santa Monica's City Council granted landmark status to a rare 1913 bungalow in the Pico neighborhood over its owner's objections. The 5-0 vote protected the vacant house on 20th St., according to the Santa Monica Daily Press . Councilmember Barry Snell recused himself because he lives nearby, and Mayor Pro Tem Jesse Zwick was absent.Owner Lydia King bought the property this year hoping to redevelop it. She told councilmembers she had hoped to build affordable housing or a senior center, describing holes in the roof and floor, a strong mold smell, and break-ins, SMDP reported."We cannot live like 100 years ago," King said.The Santa Monica Conservancy's case for preservation emphasized the home's surviving architecture and neighborhood history.Known as an airplane bungalow, the house has a small, window-filled upper story resembling an airplane cockpit. The Conservancy's property history identifies its sleeping porch and exposed beams extending over the driveway among the distinctive features still in place.The group says the house is the last surviving structure built by Simon and Anna Unfried, early residents of Fairview Heights, now the Pico neighborhood.The designation followed conflicting assessments of the home's significance.Historic Resources Group, the city's consultant, found the house eligible under

La Crescenta residents cite fire evacuation concerns in battle against affordable housing project

Concerned residents and La Crescenta city leaders are urging Los Angeles County to take another look at a proposed five-story affordable housing site. They say Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard offer only one way out, and with the proposed development, there would be a dangerous evacuation bottleneck and no safe way to escape danger. The neighborhood is in an area designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the state fire marshal. The proposed five-story apartment complex would replace an 80-year-old motel at the corner of Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The development would include 66 units and potentially house hundreds of residents. Tatyana Esmaelian, a La Crescenta resident, said the location could create serious problems during a wildfire evacuation. “I see this as a disaster happening, where it’s a repeat of Palisades Fire meets Eaton Fire, where people will get gridlocked to come out,” Esmaelian said. Residents say the intersection is already a potential evacuation choke point. Above the proposed development are already hundreds of homes, with Briggs Avenue serving as a primary evacuation route. Chris Kilpatrick of the Crescenta Valley Town Council called the proposed location particularly problematic. “This is probably the worst place in the

Culver City Wraps a Ficus in 56-Foot Metal Frame as Public Art

A towering metal frame is rising around a mature ficus tree at the intersection of Washington and National boulevards in Culver City, part of a public-art installation that began last month and is expected to continue through the end of the year.

The call goes to voicemail. The client leaves a message, waits a week, and calls again. Somewhere in the office, the file holding that client’s injury claim sits exactly where it sat last month. For many people who hire a lawyer, the hardest part of a case can be the silence between updates, not the legal question at the center of it.
