 Craftsman Cottages In Jeopardy The white clapboard cottages with the individually-colored front doors at 211 Alta Avenue may soon fall victim to the wrecker’s ball unless neighborhood groups are successful in obtaining landmark status for the complex. A fine example of craftsman architecture which flourished in southern California in the 1920s and 1930s, the complex features moderne-mullioned windows and a vine-covered trellis around every door. The dozen-or-so cottages surround a broad swath of lawn and flower beds and appear to be in pristine condition. Because the complex is more than 50 years old, a developer would be required to obtain an okay from the Landmarks Commission before demolition could proceed. -- Carolanne Sudderth Employees Battle SMC Green to Run For 42nd District Assembly Seat Proposed Ordinance For Montana Avenue Council Orders New Ordinance For Montana New Playgrounds Slated For Parks Documentary Film on Wetlands To Be Shown Here Thursday $56,000 Added To City's Millennium Celebration Budget Red Cross Offers Xmas Safety Tips Seascape Issues Spanish Edition SMRR Endorses Candidates, Propositions on March Ballot Westside Food Bank Aims For a Hunger-Free Holiday Residents Tell Officials What's On Their Minds From the Mirror Files: Sunset Park Turns Clock Back |
