Davis architectural firm. The firm is said to have "defined '50s Googie architecture". Helen Liu Fong was the designer at Armet & Davis who is credited with designing the Holiday Bowl. The Bowl was photographed in stereo for 3-D viewing by Jack Laxer. Closure The Bowl closed in 2000 and was targeted for demolition. Bowl supporters mobilized, persuading the City of Los Angeles's Cultural Heritage Commission to designate the structure an historical-cultural monument. It is listed as number 688 on the City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument list. Revitalization The former bowling alley front area was refurbished in October 2004 and replaced with a modern outdoor shopping center anchored by Walgreens that opened in early 2006. The former Coffee Shop had become a Starbucks Coffee and other restaurants from the former alley and the neon signs from the nearby former famous Honda/Pontiac car dealership had been upgraded. Preservationists wanted the landmark saved for its history, cultural significance, and architectural history.
