Got an urgent email from the Save the Derby folks, who are pressing on in their attempts to save the building -- at the corner of Hillhurst and Los Feliz -- from demolishment.
The Cultural Heritage Commission will hear from the public on Thursday, March 16, to determine whether to make the building -- which once housed a Los Feliz outpost of the Brown Derby restaurant -- an official city landmark. Here are the details:
WHAT: Public Hearing - Nomination to make The Derby a City Landmark
WHEN: Thursday March 16, 2006 at 10:00 am
WHERE:Cultural Heritage Commission
City Hall - Room 1010
200 North Spring Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
The Save the Derby posse also asks that you sign their petiton and send a letter in support.
Writes campaign leader Rebecca Goodman: This is the real deal folks, this is when the Derby really needs you. Developers would like to build a massive condo complex on the property. See for yourself - - check out the developer's last set of drawings for "Hillhurst Square."
The protection that comes from official Landmark status is our best hope for saving this beautiful, historic building. The Derby is the last original Brown Derby restaurant from Hollywood's Golden Age that is still standing. The Derby is a landmark in our hearts but to Save The Derby we must make it a Landmark on paper. Please Help!!
