Help Save Stoner House!

This Thursday, December 18, the Long Beach Planning Commission will hear an appeal filed on demolition approval of a rare 1956 Ray Kappe-designed home in Long Beach’s Naples Island. The appeal filed by the Coalition to Save the Stoner House—a coalition formed by the Los Angeles Conservancy, Docomomo US/SoCal, and Long Beach Heritage. The post-and-beam house is the earliest example of Kappe’s work in Long Beach, and is the only example of his work in the community prior to 1975.
