A Curbed reader has good news to report for the preservation minded reader. "On Saturday I happened to pass by the old Bukowski bungalow at 5124 DeLongpre (near Normandie), and was surprised to see workers on the site replacing the windows. I got out and took a little walk around the property and noticed that the inside walls also appeared to have been freshly painted. I asked the workers if it was ok to walk through the building, and they said yes. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me. These photos were taken this morning (08-11-08). The last I had heard, the site was declared a Historic landmark by the city. Hadn't really heard too much about it lately. The website dedicated to its preservation does not seem to be working."
A quick check of building permits at the City of LA also reports the following work:
