Built in
1967, the Parasol with its white dome roof and pink spines, is a hybrid of
architectural styles that flourished in post-war Southern California. The
restaurant is also an important gathering place, patrons say. Generations
have dined and worked at the restaurant.
News that
the restaurant might be demolished spurred thousands of residents to sign a
petition calling for its protection. The city hired a consultant to
determine the building's historic value. Their preservation effort is
ongoing. Visit their website, and sign the petition at:
