Moore House Threatened With Demolition
Thank you to everyone who submitted comments on the Notice of Preparation for the new residential project that threatens the Moore House. Designed by noted local architect Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright) and completed in 1959, this exemplar of modern residential design in Palos Verdes Estates is currently targeted as a teardown. Since the house has absolutely no local protection, public outcry is essential in preventing its demolition. We will keep you updated on this issue. |

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! |
