Los Angeles needs to show future generations what it really important, the Lummis House deserves to be protected and shared with generations to come.

This cannot be! This is a small but relevant and important treasure of the Eastside of Los Angeles. We have already had our Southwest Museum taken away, NOT THIS TOO!!!!!

The Lummis Homestead provides an important physical context for understanding the movement west, the evolution of Los Angeles, and helps ground Northeast LA within that history. The site, with sense of place and native gardens, is part of the cultural activity of the economically diverse community. It is a meeting place across time in time. HPHT, NELA and Occidential have a plan. The City must find the wisdom and backbone to make that plan concrete.

The city needs to get its act together and work to preserve this landmark. It is an important anchor in Northeast Los Angeles. Especially with the demise to the Southwest Museum as a cultural institution.

The Lummis Home MUST be preserved! Los Angeles has had a spotty record re preservation.. Lummis was and remains an iconic figure and a true representation of an early Angeleno.. from his walk to LA in 1884 to his work at the Los Angeles Times and Out West Magazine, as well as serving as the first male head Librarian - he has a fascinating history and his self made home must be preserved as an homage to this fascinating man!

This iconic building has cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, and its historic integrity must be maintained. Charles Lummis, who tramped across the country from Chicago to Los Angeles where he was an editor for the L.A. Times, was instrumental in the founding of the Southwest Museum, wrote 16 books and created the beautiful El Alisal. Collaborating with Occidental College is a win/win for all. The City has the financial resources and connections to make this a reality. PLEASE make this happen!!

The City of Los Angeles needs to preserve the house and find a way for Historical Society of Southern to partially occupy the structure and develop the public programming of the property.

This building and its story are treasures. A huge part of the history of surrounding Highland Park, Cypress Park and Montecito Heights neighborhoods. Please take care of it and keep it open to the public.
