The formerly beige Echo Park Lake Boathouse is now sporting a new
bronze – or is it Harvest Gold? – paint color and copper collar under
the lighthouse as part of an extensive renovation of the 80-year old
building. Is this the original color? It’s hard to say. Project manager
Ohaji K. Abdalla with the city’s Bureau of Engineering said:
The color shown at
this time is the final stucco coat. Due to the many stucco fixes
performed on the building , without proper preservation techniques, we
cannot source the original color of the building. The color chosen is
typical for Spanish Colonial buildings of this era.
While the $1.3 million project is nearly complete, the new bronze boathouse won’t be opened until the
$65 million clean up and rehabilitation of Echo Park Lake is finished sometime next year.
