Preservationists Seek to Save Base’s Buildings
Preservationists appeared in federal court Monday in another attempt to block further demolition of historic buildings at the old Long Beach Naval Station.
Two major structures, including the tower of the administration building that served as Pacific Fleet headquarters before World War II, were demolished Nov. 24.
Other buildings are scheduled for demolition in the coming weeks.
U.S. District Judge Dean D. Pregerson said he would issue a written ruling on the preservationists’ request. He gave no indication how he might rule.
