Preserve Paul Williams’ Work

The article describing the work of Los Angeles architect Paul Williams was bittersweet (“Master Class,” by Leslee Komaiko, Metropolis, March 7). Williams is known for his significant contributions to our city’s landscape, yet his work faces the threat of destruction. Surely Harvard-Westlake School can find a preservation solution to keep the Morris Landau residence in its historic location. Williams overcame enormous obstacles to achieve success. We should not have to remember his visionary work from pictures. As L.A. residents, we should show respect for our history and speak up for the preservation of Williams’ buildings.
