Watch the Replay of this Engaging talk with Nathan Marsak!
Bunker Hill is the highest point of downtown Los Angeles,
both literally and figuratively. Its circle of life has created a continuous
saga of change, each chapter rich with captivating characters, structures, and
culture. In Bunker Hill Los Angeles: Essence of Sunshine and Noir,
historian Nathan Marsak tells the story of the Hill, from the district’s
inception in the mid-19th century to its present day, site of the city’s
highest echelon of cultural events, from its opera and philharmonic, to its
vast art museum scene. Marsak commemorates the poets and writers, artists and
activists, little guys and big guys, and of course, the many architects who
built and rebuilt the community on the Hill—time after historic time.
With more than 250 photographs—many in color—as well as maps
and vintage ephemera to tell his dramatic visual story, Marsak lures us into
Bunker Hill Los Angeles and shares its lost world, then guides us to its new
one. In this presentation, developed specially for
the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles, historian Nathan Marsak will take you up
onto pre-redevelopment Bunker Hill to investigate some of the demolished
treasures built between 1925-1955 that once stood in Los Angeles's first suburb.
