WeHo Preservation Organization Forming
05/29/2012
By Hillsman Wright, West Hollywood, California

The leaders of the ongoing effort to Save the Pickfair Studios aim to help create a community-based organization to advocate for the preservation of our historic buildings, districts and landscapes.

Plummer Park, the demolished Edward Fickett library, El Mirador Apartments and The Lot (Pickford and Goldwyn buildings now demolished) are indicative of a systemic failure of planning and vision that threatens our quality of life.

We, as a community, must preserve these endangered buildings and landscapes. It is an obligation to our past and a requirement for our future.

Historic places are vitally important in making a one-of-a-kind community - they create character, an unmistakable sense of place, a special quality that no other city can duplicate.  

Without its unique social history and the districts, neighborhoods and structures that reflect that culture, past and present, West Hollywood would not be West Hollywood.  

It would lack its defining characteristics and energy, the things that make it special. It could eventually resemble any other city in America.  

West Hollywood should set its sights higher.

Preservation begins with planning. Preservation must become a priority in a community that has already lost so much of its history, and still has much more to lose.

In 2007, when West Hollywood was named as One of America’s 12 Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, then-Mayor John Heilman stated, “We have a strong commitment to protecting the City’s character and historic buildings, and will continue to work hard to preserve the historic and scenic assets of West Hollywood.”

Clearly, that commitment is now in question.  

Over-sized retail, high-rise buildings and traffic gridlock do not evoke the “charm and small scale of a village,” once a source of pride in West Hollywood. 

Please email SaveThePickfairStudios@yahoo.com if you will be attending or would like further information.

It is time for members of our community to project a stronger, more unified voice for the preservation of West Hollywood’s heritage.

We hope to see you there!
