First Lutheran Church 1925-2012 Van Nuys: all that remains







Greg, from the blog, West SFV, made his way over to our latest civic triumph in Van Nuys, the obliteration of the 1925 First Lutheran Church.

Demolition for Historic (1925) Van Nuys Lutheran Church?


Maria Scherzer sent me an email today saying that she believes that the historic 1925 First Lutheran Church of Van Nuys at Vesper/Kittridge may be scheduled for demolition.

Her emails:

“Historic Van Nuys Church Scheduled for Demolition

Current owner, Little Brown Church of Studio City/Church of the Valley,
willfully neglected maintenance & repair of structure…
