Those signing this petition were supportive of saving the Kronish and repurposing it to a NEUTRA LIBRARY; a benign quasi-public use that will allow visitors to experience an authentic Neutra both inside and out; save an icon, and provide a use for the public to gain knowledge about the Neutras Practice. SAVE THIS FROM DEMOLITION!
This 1955 house, for developer Herbert Kronish is one of the largest surviving houses done by the Neutra Practice, and the last one ever built in Beverly Hills! Two others there, have long since been compromised or destroyed.
Now we sign to support an authentic restoration and repurposing for a new owner with the involvement of the Neutra Practice, and the hope that the results will sometimes be viewable by its fans and the general public.

The threatened demolition of the iconic Neutra Kronish House reminds us of the situation in 2002, when the City of Rancho Mirage issued such a permit and an equally famous Neutra was unceremoniously demolished without notice and without any one being able to photograph or video the event.
