Sampson Altadena HOA seeks local landmark designation for apartments

Noah Elmore took the spotlight at the Historical Landmarks Commission meeting on July 10, 2025, as he presented a significant request from the Sampson Altadena Condominiums Homeowner Association. The association is seeking to designate the Sampson and Altadena Apartments as a local landmark site, a move that could preserve the historical integrity of the area.

Staff members are backing this initiative, recommending that the commission forward a recommendation of approval to the city council. The apartments are situated at the southwest corner of the intersection of 300 South and 300 East, making them a notable part of the local landscape.

This designation could have lasting implications for the preservation of the site, ensuring that its historical value is recognized and protected. As the commission prepares to make its recommendation, the community watches closely, eager to see how this decision will shape the future of the Sampson and Altadena Apartments.
