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.

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.

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.

Fargo, ND (PRWEB) January 15, 2015
Hope Lutheran Church began its ministry on the north side of Fargo, North Dakota's largest city, back in 1958. Since then, the church has succeeded in carrying its message to a diverse set of people from all walks of life, and now hosts approximately 2,600 congregants per week. Recently, Minneapolis, MNbased Excel AV Group (http://www.excelavgroup.com) assisted the church in completing a multi-faceted A/V installation in the 1,200 capacity sanctuary of its South campus, featuring state of the art amplification from audio manufacturer Powersoft.
The new AV system, which is part of a broader construction upgrade that was completed in mid-October, is a significant upgrade to the facility's previous system, which was aging and no longer able to fulfil the church's innovative programming requirements. When the original system was acquired in the early nineties, content consisted primarily of organ, choir and spoken word. Now, as the church pursues a more contemporary programming path, music can range from traditional to more progressive therefore the system must now accommodate increased SPL and frequency range.
A New Audio System to Meet New Programming Demands The new installation not only needed to ensure that everyone could hear the pastor clearly, but also had to support dramatic performances, video content as well as live modern music performances. "The old system did not have enough SPL output, the audio quality was poor, and the coverage was spotty throughout the sanctuary. They needed a system that could deliver even coverage to all seating locations not just in terms of SPL, but also tonality, which is more difficult. explained Caleb Dick, System Designer, Excel AV Group.
Hope Lutheran's Technical Director contacted Excel AV Group two years ago, which counts House of Worship-related projects as approximately 80 percent of its overall business. The firm was brought on to design and implement the new audio system, as well as update the sanctuary's lighting system while adding a 16-foot wide LED wall replacing an older projection-based system. The new audio system featured a Powersoft K10 DSP powering the subwoofer (a Danley DBH218 bass horn enclosure), (2) Powersoft Duecanali 3904s powering the main loudspeakers (both Danley SH96 three-way horn loudspeakers) and a Powersoft Duecanali 5204 powering the balcony speakers (two Danley SM60F and one SH95HO three way horn loudspeakers.). The system also features a Midas DL251/X32 digital mixing console and Symetrix DSP, which was chosen for its networking capabilities.
The church wanted this project to involve top manufacturers, so the system is based around Powersoft for the amplifiers, Danley for the speakers, Midas for the mixing console and Sennheiser for the wireless system. Powersoft amplifiers were chosen for their outstanding sound quality, low current draw and their ability to deliver the high power requirements of the system. Following a thorough acoustic assessment, it was concluded that the main speakers required 2,800 watts at 8 ohms. "That is a lot of power, and it narrowed the options down among the choice of manufacturers. We ended up selecting the Powersoft Duecanali since we wanted to use the best technology available at the time." Excel was able to have the whole system sequenced and running off of multiple 20-amp circuits. "We didnt have to change to 240 volts and this made it very simple. The current draw was very low overall thanks to the efficiency of the Powersoft amplifiers." Caleb explains.
Enhancing Parishioners Audio Experience Since a good part of the sanctuary's interior is composed of hardwood, the room already had pleasing acoustics. To retain its inherent 'live feel without energizing the ceiling and wall, speakers with excellent pattern control were used to avoid extraneous reflections. Excel cites the precise pattern control of the Danley loudspeakers as an important factor in achieving a favorable acoustic response, and also controlling gain before feedback issues. Speakers were hung from large beams spanning the entire width of the sanctuary, and subsequently angled in various positions to ensure audio coverage for virtually every seat in the facility.
The system design consisted exploded mono with three different zones: a floor zone for the main speakers, a balcony consisting of three speakers (and also where FOH was located), and under the balcony, which required six speakers given its short ceiling height and deep seating area. All of these speakers were time aligned to the main system; one of Excel's primary goals was able to ensure single time arrival for every seat in each zone including the FOH position in the balcony, which they ultimately achieved.
The church needed the system to reach 103 dBA with 15 dB of headroom. Based on the system design, as well as the SPL plots and modelling software analysis, Excel knew the intelligibility of the system was going to be extremely high because they had one time arrival everywhere. Thanks in large part to the Powersoft K10 DSP and damping factor compensation, the bass extension was almost 30 Hz and the SPL for low frequencies was higher than the church will ever use. In a nutshell, every single one of both Excels and the churchs goals was met.
Delivering More Than Good Frequency Response According to everyone at Excel, choosing the right amplifier choice can play a determining factor in delivering a premium audio experience, as in this case: Excel has used Powersoft a number of times over the last five years. When it comes to sound quality, there is something about how Powersoft amps can deliver high levels of power really fast. For example, the subwoofer impact is consistently hard, even if the electrical service into the amp fades a bit. On the other speakers, the response from the mids and the highs are really accurate as well. The Powersoft amps produce an authentic, present sound. It doesnt feel like you are rounding off the transients like some older amps."
