May is National Preservation Month, and Coronado is joining communities nationwide in celebrating our unique heritage! We're fortunate to have so many meaningful historic places, and we'll be highlighting them throughout the month. Our celebrations include a City Council Proclamation, the presentation of plaques to recently designated historic homes, and the beloved Historic Home Tour on Mother’s Day. The celebrations will culminate in the annual Preservation Symposium on Thursday, May 21, at 5:30 p.m. A wine and cheese reception will be followed by the the program at 6 p.m. This year’s program features a documentary screening and discussion with filmmaker Scott Goldstein. The evening will address the unforgettable impact of loss in architectural history, highlighted by the demolition of the iconic Maslon House in Rancho Mirage—designed by Richard Neutra in 1962. The razing of this modernist masterpiece in 2002 caused international outrage and directly inspired a new preservation movement in the region. Filmmaker Scott Goldstein will join us to present a portion of his documentary work and share his intensely personal connection to this landmark structure. Through interviews and archival footage, the film brings the house back to life, exploring the home, the Maslon family, and their incredible collection of modern art. Goldstein will recount his powerful story of returning to the desert only to find the magnificent home gone, replaced by a structure that "just wasn't the same." Join us to hear this powerful, firsthand account, see related footage, and discuss why architectural preservation matters and how the loss of history shapes the present.
