Actress Diane Keaton has renovated entire homes with historic tiles, and preservationists have been known to dumpster dive to save Batchelder tiles from the landfill.

“This to me is a landmark that defines the entire neighborhood of East Hollywood,” said James Dastoli, a preservationist who nominated the property and spoke at the meeting.

The Palisades and Eaton infernos have laid waste to more than 30 structures considered historic in what preservationists believe is the single worst loss of such properties in the region’s history.

Although preservationists are pressing the city to save the brick building with the rock ‘n’ roll vibe, the future remains uncertain and the end seems near.

The Rose Bowl is a National Historic Landmark, and maintaining that status is paramount to people associated with the stadium and Pasadena preservationists.
