We had a very successful conference this year, with over 200 attendees and a special focus on the intersection of housing issues and historic preservation. • And many thanks to Commissioner Barron for welcoming the State Historical Resources Commission to Los Angeles, here in this room, last week. At that meeting, the Commission recommended approval of our office’s National Register multiple property submission for the five citywide Asian American contexts, as well as the National Register nomination for the Filipino Christian Church. • Janet Hansen, Deputy Manager of the Office of Historic Resources, was honored by the California Preservation Foundation last month with its President’s Award. This was in recognition of Janet’s achievements in leading and completing SurveyLA, our citywide historic resources survey, as well as her entire career of leadership in historic preservation, as the preservation officer for the City of Riverside and as a preservation consultant. While Janet doesn’t like a great deal of hoopla, we wanted to let the Commission know, since this was such a well-deserved honor.

Genesee Avenue in the Mid-Wilshire community. With the Council’s initiation, our office will prepare these nominations and bring them to the Commission for consideration, most likely in January.
