Eagle Rock : Landmark Decision Weighed
The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission has agreed to consider making the soon-to-close Woman’s Christian Temperance Union Home for Women in Eagle Rock a city landmark, but WCTU directors fear it that it could complicate efforts to sell the site.
Staff members said the panel will probably inspect the 65-year-old complex on Norwalk Avenue in April, then make its recommendation. The final decision will be up to the Los Angeles City Council.
The designation would allow the city to delay any efforts to demolish the home and would require a special review of proposed structural changes.
