We love wood windows
We must give credit to Angelus Temple as it renovates several of its properties near Echo Park Lake. This shingled apartment building on Glendale Boulevard near Park Avenue is not only getting a new paint job but new wood windows (at least in front) to duplicate the originals. We do have to take some credit here. Kevin Kuzma and Matt Pope of the EPHS met with the church's contractor to provide him with advice on preservation friendly remodeling as well as sources for materials and services. It also helps that this building is located in the area that is being studied for a potential historic district. As a result, any exterior changes need to receive much greater scrutiny. It helps that these changes keep and improve and building's historic character.We provided similar advice as the church began remodeling two four-plex apartment buildings on Echo Park Avenue. Not only does the church get to improve and update its property but Echo Park retains its old look and feel.

well that is the least that church can do for the area. I think it is disgusting that they have done NOTHING to improve the situation in the Echo Park right in their front yard??? All those homeless, drug addicts, mentally ill people right on their front doorstep and they haven't figured out a way to help? Or do they believe it is not their problem? OR maybe the church doesn't think it is their responsibility? My 90 year old Grandmother remembers that Church and the founder-- and in all this time nothing. Or very little. Bottom line is we are probably talking way less than 100 people that need help and they haven't been part of the solution-- it should have been solved by now. This is not far from them-- but literally right in front of them. Disgusting. And they call themselves a church? What is their purpose anyway if they can't help Echo Park keep the flavor with all the properties they've been buying up over the years. gosh. Someone had to say something.
If anonymous knew anything about what the church actually does, they wouldn't jump to such critical conclusions. The city credits "The Dream Center Los Angeles" - the same church of people that come to services on Sundays and Thursday nights, for helping the city combat such practical issues. They have outreaches such as "Hope for the Homeless", Food Bank Trucks that go around the city to give out groceries on a reg. basis, Adopt-A-Block (clean up the neighborhoods every Sat. morning), and something like over 200 projects that are equally honorable. This is the story of "The Church that Never Sleeps" - read the book written by Matthew Barnett to learn more.
