Summer's here and with it the Conservancy's popular "Downtown at Sunset" walking tours. This year we'll feature two tours that are no longer part of our regularly scheduled weekend tours: Little Tokyo and City Hall. Other tours offered include Art Deco, Evolving Skyline, and Union Station.

Two different tours will be offered each Wednesday evening from July 22 through the end of August. Tours start at 5:30 p.m. and last approximately 1-3/4 hours. Tickets are $5 for Conservancy members and children twelve and under; $10 for the general public; reservations are required.

The 1966 hotel designed by Minoru Yamasaki made the list after the owner of the hotel announced demolition plans in December 2008. You can help us save this architectural and cultural icon by taking action today.

Donate to the Preservation Advocacy Fund

The Conservancy created its Preservation Advocacy Fund in 1996 in the wake of one of our most controversial, costly, and ultimately successful preservation battles: halting the demolition of the 1876 Cathedral of St. Vibiana and preserving its landmark status.

Since then, the Preservation Advocacy Fund has become a special source of funds to draw upon when a preservation issue arises that calls for expenditures that are not within the Conservancy's budget. Donations to the Advocacy Fund are above and beyond annual membership dues.
