Historic Building to Get Facelift - Maybe

Owners of the1948 building that recently was LG's Steakhouse, are facing questions from historians over facade plans.

A historic building in Palm Desert may get a major renovation if the City Council approves plans tonight.

The 'Desert Magazine' building on Highway 111, built in 1948, was one of Palm Desert's first structures.  Most recently it was home to a LG'S Steakhouse, and building owners say it needs exterior remodeling to attract new tenants.

Preservationists claim the proposed changes will ruin the historic sense of the adobe-syle building.
