L.A. to consider preservation of Googie-style Norms on La Cienega - LA Times

Fans of modern architecture are pushing to make the retro, angular building that has long housed Norms on La Cienega Boulevard a historic and cultural monument, worried that the beloved '50s building could be at risk.

LA is the home of one of the most important forms of mid-century architecture, a style known as "Googie." Yet the current brand of soulless bland L.A. architecture which blights the landscape is so accepted by the majority of Angelenos, there may not be a single example of original Googie architecture left in a few years.
