Chattel Los Angeles celebrated the holiday season on December 17, 2013 at Terroni, a new restaurant housed in a historic banking hall at 802 S. Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles. In the setting of a sleek private dining room which was once the mezzanine of National City Bank, our team enjoyed a multi-course meal of southern Italian food and wine, exchanged holiday gifts, and reflected on our firm’s growth and accomplishments.

Chattel is especially proud to be actively involved in revitalization of the vibrant neighborhood surrounding Terroni. In 2006, Chattel prepared a Historic-Cultural Monument Nomination and Mills Act Contract and consulted on the rehabilitation of the ornate National City Bank Building housing the restaurant.
