Pacific Palisades Business Block

The Business Block building was located between Antioch, Swarthmore and Sunset in the Village neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, an area in the Westside of Los Angeles.This Spanish Colonial Revival-style structure has long benefited from the large adjacent parking lot below Via de la Paz as well as a deep setback in front of most of the building.Joshi said at the time that he intended to demolish the Business Block building to make way for a $22-million, three-story shopping mall with an underground parking garage."[2] When Joshi ultimately backed out of the deal, Mrs. Graves and her supporters convinced the company TOPA Management to purchase the aging structure in 1983, bring it up to state earthquake standards and give it a new paint job.The following year the Business Block building was officially rededicated and was declared a City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument.
