Wayfarers Executive Director Dan Burchett, RPV Mayor John Cruikshank and Katie Horak, the principal of the Architectural Resources Group, are scheduled to speak during the 9 a.m. press conference.
Katie Horak, a principal at Architectural Resources Group, said at the Monday press conference, the “only way to preserve this building is to move it to a temporary safe location.” Construction manager Megan Turner, from S. L. Leonard & Associates, said “we are on the urgency to deconstruct this chapel so as to avoid any catastrophic loss,” as the chapel land is moving inches a week and “affecting the structural elements.”
Rancho Palos Verdes Mayor John Cruikshank said rain has been the catalyst for the land movement occurring, which currently has no end in site. “While this assembly and storage are the current focus, we are committed on working with Wayfarers to ensure the chapel can quickly be rebuilt on a geologically safe location somewhere within our city if possible,” said Cruikshank, adding this is in the “very early stages” and “we have not identified any sites.”
