Kevin Roderick at LA Observed had a post about the 27th Los Angeles Conservancy preservation awards. The Claremont Packing House received an award for adaptive reuse. The Conservancy's press release said:
Claremont Packing House, Claremont -- The last visible link to Claremont’s pioneering history in the citrus industry was transformed into a thriving center for arts, entertainment, retail, and community services, becoming a model of adaptive reuse and an anchor for revitalization.
The conservancy apparently did not look at the effectiveness or economic viability of the Packing House reuse. Consumers will ultimately have the say on that count.
The awards will be given out Thursday, May 8th, at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Tickets are $125 per person. Call (213) 623-2489 for more information or email pal@laconservancy.org.
