Preservation Projects at Whites Point
NIKE Site 43L and Battery Bunker Listed on the California Register
On August 11, 2000 Fort
MacArthur Museum Association members Frank Evans and Sam
Stokes successfully argued the merits of listing both
Battery Bunker and the NIKE LA43L site on the California
register of Historic Places During the meeting of the
California State Historic Resources Commission in San Luis
Obispo. Both sites at White's Point is now officially a
listed historic resource. But we aren't out of the woods
yet.
The Department of Recreation and Parks STILL wants to
demolish the Nike site. This, despite the great effort of
the recently formed Los Angeles Air Defense Museum
Association to work with the department to find a solution
that would satisfy all the parties concerned with the site.
Battery Bunker is far too costly to remove, as are the
underground NIKE magazines, or those would also be on their
list to destroy.
