CA-Modern: On the Bright Side of Tragedy
While Conservancy partner CA-Modern magazine prefers stories that celebrate the joys of mid-century modern living, two fascinating features in the new CA-Modern delve into life tragedies that many of our readers care about. The focus for the first is the Hollywood Hills, and architectural photographer Leland Lee, who lost 40 years of photographs there to fire. For the second, on the state of California modern real estate, CA-Modern sifts through a world turned upside down. Both have happy twists! |

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. Thanks for your support! |
