These photos and comments are designed to showcase good examples of historic preservation and preservation-friendly new construction in Echo Park. We will also note renovations and new development that destroys historic features or is ill suited for our historic neighborhood. Feel free to send us a photo (small jpeg file, please) of a Preservation Win or Preservation Loss in Echo Park to ephs@HistoricEchopark.org.
This project at Sunset Blvd. and Elysian Park Ave. lacks any connection
to the neighborhood's historic scale or character--unless you count a
few panels of fake siding and the sliding windows that are not fooling
anyone by pretending to look "olde" with divided lights (those small
squares in the windows). It's a pretty depressing project.
