Cultural Heritage Commission recommends landmark status for The Talmadge in Koreatown
The apartment building at Wilshire Boulevard and Berendo Street would be added to the city's historic monument list if the Council agrees.
Designating The Talmadge a Historic-Cultural Monument would add city review before the building could be altered or demolished. The Cultural Heritage Commission voted 5 to 0 on July 16, 2026 to recommend the listing, and the City Council must act within 90 days of the Commission's hearing or the application is denied.
