Join us this week as we talk with Bill Martinet, a retired employee of the Sunkist corporation, about the year he spent working in the gorgeous, now-demolished Sunkist Building (1935) opposite L.A.‘s Central Library. We’ll also visit with Donald Spivack, former Deputy Chief of Operations and Policy at the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency, to learn about the terrible Central Library fire of 1986, and the redevelopment plan that saved the building. audiofile YCES-97.mp3 relevantHyperLinks Welcoming the National Trust to the Southwest Museum table.
