We risk losing our local and beautiful texture when we don't take it into account. Not every building is just a building but sometimes an expression of our history and an individual's art. Please save this house
Long Beach is fortunate to have a rich architectural history, and master architect Ray Kappe's Stoner House is among the important mid-century landmarks that should be preserved. - Adriene Biondo, Chair Emeritus of the Los Angeles Conservancy Modern Committee
Please preserve this piece of history for future generations! Ray Kappe was an artist of his time- up there with artists like Frank Lloyd Wright and Neutra. Once it’s demolished, there’s no going back.
