Excerpt:
BREA — Demolition has begun on Unocal’s Hartley
Center, a performing-arts building some art enthusiasts had
hoped to save.
Workers have methodically torn down Unocal’s former
headquarters northeast of Imperial Highway and Valencia Avenue
over the past several weeks. Plans call for 1,200 homes and
retail on the 120 acre site.
Crews began demolishing the 400-seat auditorium named after
former Unocal president Fred L. Hartley on Tuesday. Work
continues today and complete demolition could take several
days.
The auditorium was designed by renowned architect William
Pereira, who also designed San Francisco’s Transamerica
building.
