  • Conservancy Comments on NOP, Wilshire Mullen Project, December
    December 22, 2015 Submitted Electronically Ms. Erin Strelich Environmental Analysis Section Department of City Planning 200 N. Spring Street, Room 750 Los Angeles, CA 90012 Email: [email protected] Re: Notice of Preparation for Wilshire Mullen Project, ENV-2015-3719-EIR Dear Ms. Strelich, On behalf of the Los Angeles Conservancy, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for an environmental impact report (EIR) for the Wilshire Mullen project. The Conservancy appreciates that the proposed project will retain and reuse the historic Farmers Insurance Home Office Building (“Farmers Building”) and incorporate new construction on existing surface parking lots and vacant residential lots. We submit the following comments to ensure that the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the Farmers Building meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The new infill construction should be compatible in scale and overall massing so as not to adversely impact the historic building and immediate neighborhood. If significant impacts are anticipated, a range of preservation alternatives should be evaluated and adequate mitigation measures proposed as part of the environmental review process. In particular, we strongly recommend designation of the Farmers Building as a Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) prior to project approval. This will ensure adequate long-term protection and a design review process. I. Historic Significance of the Farmers Building Designed by noted Los Angeles architectural firm of Walker and Eisen, the Farmers Building was completed in 1937 in the PWA Moderne style. Farmers Inter-Insurance Exchange, founded in 1928, commissioned the building as the headquarters for its growing company, which provided automobile, fire, and truck insurance to farmers and ranchers throughout Southern California.

Biographical/Historical note Claud W. Beelman was born in Ohio in 1883 and attended architecture school at Harvard. After practicing on the east coast and in Ohio and Indiana, Beelman moved to Los Angeles in 1921. He formed a partnership with Aleck Curlett (Curlett & Beelman), which lasted until 1932. Beelman died in 1963. During the building boom of the 1920s, Curlett & Beelman designed many of the commercial buildings in downtown Los Angeles in both the Beaux Arts and Italian Renaissance styles. After the firm dissolved, Beelman designed buildings in the Art Deco and Moderne styles throughout the 1930s, and moved into designing Modern buildings after World War II. Many of Beelman's buildings are on the Mational Register of Historic Places, as well as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments.
