The wildfires that continued to burn through Southern California early Wednesday have gutted some local landmarks along the Pacific Coast Highway and other areas.
Here are some of the most affected sites so far:
-
The Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center: The temple in Pasadena was engulfed by the Eaton fire, said Melissa Levy, its executive director, though the extent of the damage was unclear. That fire in Eaton Canyon, in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Pasadena, had consumed at least 1,000 acres as of Tuesday night.
-
Malibu Feed Bin: A local institution that has offered pet supplies and gifts since 1966 was destroyed in the Palisades fire, according to a post on social media. “With a heavy heart, I am writing this. We lost the Feed Bin today,” the post said.
-
Reel Inn: A well-known seafood restaurant in Malibu, Reel Inn posted a link on social media to a report in The Malibu Times, which said the restaurant had been destroyed in the Palisades fire. “We are so grateful for the 36 years we have been part of the community,” the restaurant’s owners said in the post, adding: “We are heartbroken and unsure what will be left.”
-
Palisades Charter High School: Flames overwhelmed the campus at the independent charter school in Pacific Palisades, according to Nick Melvoin, a trustee at the Los Angeles Unified School District. Mr. Melvoin said the school — a local landmark and the alma mater of numerous celebrities in show business, sports and the arts — was still closed for winter break, so there was no need to evacuate. Mr. Melvoin said that classrooms, bungalows, tennis courts and the baseball field had burned.
