The National Trust for Historic Preservation will hold its annual Preservation Conference in Los Angeles, October 31-November 5.
The theme of the conference is "Saving America's Treasures in the 21st Century." Last year in Washington, the conference celebrated preservation's achievements on the 50th anniversary of the National Trust. This year they’ll be looking ahead, exploring the issues, trends, challenges, and opportunities that preservationists can expect to face in the century just beginning.
According to the NTHP, Los Angeles has a rich and fascinating past that is embodied in a collection of historic buildings, vibrant older neighborhoods, and multicultural diversity unmatched anywhere else. Included in the programs will be a tour of historic theaters along Hollywood Boulevard: the Chinese, El Capitan, Pantages, and Egyptian, co-sponsored by Hollywood Heritage.
