On June 12, the Conservancy held our 2011 Annual Meeting at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County’s 1913 Building.

We enjoyed a wonderful talk by Karie Bible and Harry Medved, co-authors, along with Marc Wanamaker, of the book Location Filming in Los Angeles. We also presented our annual Volunteer Recognition Awards and introduced new members of the Board of Directors.

Charmaine Atherton, president of the board, then reflected on the past year at the Conservancy. The seven-minute audio slideshow below doesn't come close to covering everything we've done since last summer, but it offers some highlights of our recent advocacy and education efforts. Enjoy!

Wiltern Theater
Wiltern Theatre
3780 Wilshire Blvd., Wilshire Center


The Wiltern Theatre and the office tower above it, the Pellissier Building, form an impressive green terra cotta structure proudly demonstrating the beauty and opulence of the Art Deco style. Designed by the renowned firm of Morgan, Walls, and Clements and completed in 1931, the building was threatened with demolition in the late 1970s. It was saved through community organizing by the Conservancy and a last-ditch rescue and renovation by developer Wayne Ratkovich. Today, the Wiltern Theatre thrives with popular live entertainment.
