RDA announced earlier this month that it wants someone to renovate, reuse and move the 1931 structure built by Crescent Oil Company founder and Long Beach Councilman Frank W. Barnes.

The next step is for the RDA to send a notice to developers who attended the walk through to submit their Letters of Intent and provide a general outline of their plans, according to an RDA representative.
