The Deco Art Deco Building Receives Landmark Plaque

On April 23, the Deco Art Deco building, located at the corner of Pacific Avenue and 8th Street in San Pedro, became the first structure in the downtown business district to be recognized with a landmark plaque. In attendance for the event were council district 15 candidates, Danielle Sandoval and Tim McCosker.

Constructed in 1930, the building is one of the most impressive in the historic business district. Architect Conrad Martin Ellington designed the building, using the distinctive art deco zigzag motif and vertical ornamentation.

A landmark plaque is a permanent emblem installed in a visible place to commemorate buildings and sites of importance in San Pedro history. Recognition includes local architecture and the homes of noteworthy San Pedro residents.
