landmark status

[edit]

The 1995 Los Angeles Times article is clear that the building was designated a landmark six years before, so presumably in 1989. But it does not appear within the City's list of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments: not found by scanning all 1988-1990 entries nor by text searching "Overhill", "Slauson", "Wich", and more. Here is cumulative PDF file listing LAHCM's into 2016. Is it some other kind of landmark?

It is not within any one of the city's Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZ) as of 2014 in this map. If it were a "contributing structure" in one of these it would be eligible for Mills Act funding.

It still exists, as can be seen in Google street view, at corner of Slauson and Overhill Avenues. --doncram 01:59, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the Slauson & Overhill location is not within the City of L.A., that's why it can't be an LAHCM I expect (although there is at least one LAHCM outside of L.A.). It is within the View Park-Windsor Hills unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, instead. So perhaps it could be a county landmark? I can't find such a program. There is the state-level California Historic Landmark program, but no listing for this one (see Los Angeles County CHL's list. --doncram 02:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And one more good chance was to find it within the Los Angeles Conservancy's system, which in fact identifies Pann's and other Googie architecture in this search. Unfortunately no dice. --doncram 02:44, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
