Endangered! The Moore House in Palos Verdes Estates
The Moore House in Palos Verdes Estates, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son Lloyd Wright, is threatened with demolition. The owners intend to construct a new house in its place overlooking the ocean. There is no historic preservation ordinance or local landmark designation in the city of Palos Verdes Estates to keep this architectural treasure from being torn down, making the expressed concern of the public vital to saving it.

ReplyDeleteIs it gone?
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't wrap my mind around someone so selfish as to destroy a historic structure when there are probably two dozen other undeveloped sites that would suffice. Leave the house for someone who loves Wright architecture!
