Dear PLUM Committee:

I am writing to express my support for the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles's nomination of the 1931 Silberberg building (CHC-2022-5941-HCM; ENV-2022-5942-CE ) at 7290 Beverly Boulevard in the Beverly/Fairfax neighborhood, as a Cultural Heritage Monument in the City of Los Angeles. It meets the criteria for an HCM. It was identified in survey L.A. and maintains a high degree of integrity and character defining features.

The property at 7290 Beverly Boulevard satisfies Criterion A of the application, as a commercial retail building associated with  historic patterns of commercial development within the Beverly‐Fairfax neighborhood.

The Silberberg Building also satisfies Criterion C as an excellent example of the Art Deco style. Designed by prolific Los Angeles architect and engineer J. Robert Harris, AIA (1900‐1964), it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a commercial building designed in the Art Deco style of architecture.

Please vote to designate the Silberberg building as an Historic Cultural Monument.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your address, neighborhood, or zip code very important if you live in the area]
