Norms restaurant on La Cienega Boulevard -- considered a model of Googie architecture with its vaulted roof and neon sign -- may face the wrecking ball unless a city commission decides Thursday whether to take up its status as a historic monument.
UPDATE: City commission to review Norms historic and cultural monument status
Owners of the restaurant obtained a demolition permit on Jan. 5 from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, according to online permit records.
On Thursday, the citys Cultural Heritage Commission will decide whether to initiate the process of designating the restaurant a historic monument.
Launching the review process would shield the building from demolition in the interim, according to the Los Angeles Conservancy, which submitted the historic monument application for Norms in December.
Built in 1956, the 24-hour coffee shop was designed by Louis Armet and Eldon Davis, whose Armet & Davis architecture firm rolled out buildings with soaring roofs and kitschy neon lights.
The pair dreamed up blueprints for other Southern California-launched chains such as Dennys and Bobs Big Boy, and corporate expansions took the Googie style national.
But such Googie buildings are exceedingly rare, giving urgency to saving the Norms, said Adrian Scott Fine, advocacy director for the Los Angeles Conservancy.
Theyre really symbolic of Southern California postwar culture, Fine said about Googie buildings.
If the five-member commission decides to start the review process -- which may entail a site visit to Norms -- a second hearing would see a vote on whether to recommend the restaurant as a historic monument.
The rest is here:
Demolition permit for Norms restaurant spurs historic monument campaign
GRANITE CITY Illinois transportation officials will close a stretch of Interstate 270 in both directions Tuesday to demolish one of the old eastbound Chain of Rocks Canal bridges.
It will be the first of three explosive demolitions of the two 50-year-old I-270 canal bridges, which were replaced last year with a new span.
IDOT officials encourage motorists to use another route that morning. The highway will close in both directions at 10 a.m. Tuesday and is expected to reopen within two hours.
Members of the public will have a limited opportunity to view the demolition at the east end of the old Chain of Rocks Road Mississippi Canal Bridge. Parking will be available on a limited basis off West Chain of Rocks Road, west of Illinois Route 3. Spectators will have to walk to the viewing area.
Traffic-control measures will be in place to guide westbound drivers around the closure.
The stretch of I-270 carries nearly 55,000 vehicles a day.

Demolition specialists Chris Winfield, left, and Adrian Hardesty are heading up the new department at Quinto Crane & Plant Ltd

A growing Norfolk crane hire company has added a new demolition and dismantling division to its operation.
To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.
Quinto Crane & Plant Ltd has brought in demolition specialists Chris Windfield and Adrian Hardesty to head up the new department.
The move is part of a 2.5m investment into the firms fleet and follows a buyout deal which saw Oliver and Hannah Arnold who run farm contracting business Spring Farm Partnership from Felthorpe, acquiring the firm.
Mr Arnold said more investment into the business was likely and the firm was also set to recruit new staff.
The addition of demolition & dismantling service brings Quinto full circle to its former Pointer glory days when cranes and demolition were run side by side employing in the region of 1,000 people, he said.
There is a construction related synergy between our lifting service, machinery moving and demolition and dismantling operations that will benefit our clients.
The company boasts an annual turnover of 7m, and Mr Arnold has already outlined his desire to take that up to 10m in the year ahead.
