Group Works To Save Historic Beach House Slated For Demolition

MANHATTAN BEACH (CBSLA.com) — There is a growing push to save a historic Manhattan Beach home slated for demolition.

The yellow beach cottage on Alma Avenue recently sold for $4 million, and plans are underway to build a condominium complex on the site.

But the Manhattan Beach Cultural Heritage Conservancy is attempting to raise funds to relocate the cottage to Highland Avenue.

The Manhattan Beach City Council in two weeks is expected to consider the issue of relocation.

The property was previously home to one of the city's founding fathers, George Peck, in the 1920s.
