Many community members say there are more than 20 schools in the area and they would rather preserve the house and use the land to build a park instead.
NORTH HILLS, LOS ANGELES -- Protestors gathered in North Hills at the site of one of the oldest houses in the community. The house dates all the way back to 1914. Neighbors say they're concerned about plans by Valor Academy to build a new elementary school on the lot.
"They want to build this school in the middle of Plummer Street and Sepulveda Middle School is already at the corner. We really feel the best thing to do is to improve the schools and the infrastructure that we already have," said North Hills Preservation Consortium President Debora Masterson."We don't need to build a new school we need to improve the schools."
"So, we have been working diligently with the local council office, with the Cultural Heritage Commission and we have full intention on preserving the house," said Valor Academy Executive Director Hrag Hamalian."That has always been part of the plan. And what a beautiful way to take a historical monument, preserve it, and put it right next to the future of our community."
