Church of Scientology of Pasadena recognized for historic preservation
These guys are doing great work:
The City of Pasadena honored the Church of Scientology of Pasadena May 18 with a 2011 Historic Preservation Award. At the awards ceremony, held as part of the city’s observance of National Historic Preservation Month, Assemblyman Anthony J. Portantino also presented the Church with a Certificate of Recognition on behalf of the California State Assembly.
The Church, which was dedicated and opened its doors in the heart of Old Pasadena on July 19, 2010, was acknowledged for “preserving the rich architectural history of Pasadena” in the rehabilitation of the four-story, 58,000-square-foot structure originally constructed in 1906. Attention to detail included the refurbishing of the building’s Beaux Arts exterior and skylighted galleria and extended to the Church’s Arts & Crafts-style furnishings and stained-glass windows.
The renovation also addressed environmental issues and the new Church meets LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification standards for environment-friendly building materials, energy equipment, lighting systems and reduced water consumption.
