The 1929 Art Deco Hoffman Candy Company building has been submitted to the Cultural Heritage Commission for consideration as an Historic Cultural Monument. The case for building will be heard on Thursday, March 3, 2022 at a virtual (Zoom) meeting that begins at 10:00 AM. See below for links and meeting code to attend.

The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles goes through a nomination process for buildings that we identify as being “historically significant.” We are now in phase 1 of this process with the Art Deco Hoffman Candy Company in Southeast Los Angeles. We need YOUR PARTICIPATION to achieve a preservation victory. Please read on.

To be effective, we need the public to get behind our nomination, by writing letters of support to key decision-makers and advisors in this process and/or appearing to express encouragement to the city to landmark the building.
