Producer Joel Silver, the new owner (via his Silver Pictures) of the historic Venice Post Office at 1601 Main, unveiled his plans for the building during a press conference (video and pictures to follow) held at the property earlier today. Attendees included Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Mike Bonin from Councilman Rosendahl's office, members of the Venice Neighborhood Council, those responsible for remodeling the building and a celebrity or two.
The repurposing of the building (originally designed by architect Louis Smith and completed in 1939) from post office to production offices for Silver Pictures will be headed up by architect Bret Thoeny of Boto Design. Judith Lance will design the interiors, Mia Lehrer will be responsible for the landscape design, mural restorer Nathan Zakheim was chosen for Edward Biberman's 1941 "First Thirty Years of Venice's History" and Dan McGhee was named contractor on the project
