To the editor: I used to be unsettled by studying of the town of Los Angeles’ wrestle to keep up the Hollyhock Home (“Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House could close due to city budget cuts,” Could 7). It will be terrible to see it closed and to lose its UNESCO designation as a World Heritage Website.
I do know funding is all the time a problem, but when there may be something that the California State Park System can do to assist assist the town in holding the property open and viable, I (and plenty of others) could be most appreciative.
It was tragic to see Will Rogers’ house destroyed within the Palisades fireplace. Your current article on that loss was highly effective, detailing the everlasting lack of a landmark (“At historic home of Will Rogers, a painful question after fire: What comes next?,” Could 4). We shouldn’t lose one other landmark property as an oblique affect of the Altadena and Palisades fires.
