WILSHIRE BLVD The building that formerly housed Callahan's and is now home to a hip diner is up for Landmark designation. The decades old diner closed on New Year's Eve and reopened as Ingo's Tasty Diner, a farm-to-table restaurant, in April. Vienna Pastry remains inside the other half of the building. The landowners, who also own the new restaurant, nominated the Wilshire Boulevard property for City Landmark status, a designation that would make it harder to alter or demolish the building. The Landmark Commission will consider the nomination at its meeting tonight. In order to be considered for Landmark status, a property must meet one of six criteria set forth in Santa Monica's law. The Callahan's property meets two of those six criteria, according to City Hall's historical consultant, who recommends the designation. Built in 1946 by an unknown architect and contractor, the structure includes significant aspects of Streamline Moderne style, which was popular the decade prior. SEE CALLHAN’S PAGE 5
