Helping Preservation

The staff of the Victorian Register and I sincerely appreciate Diane Kanner’s well-written article, “They Specialize in Homes With Pedigrees” (April 6).

Victorian Register markets properties throughout the Los Angeles area, as well as out of state.

Pasadena, Pomona or Big Bear, for example, are communities where we have--or had--outstanding properties in a variety of architectural styles. Out of state, we are working with the sellers of a Frank Lloyd Wright in Wisconsin, an 1888 Victorian estate in Illinois and a former governor’s residence in Nevada.

As preservative realtors, we need all the help we can to keep some of these properties from being bulldozed--not for their lack of importance--but for lack of buyers knowing about them.
