At one time, this was an architectural beacon on Bunker Hill. Now it is a art deco jewel overshadowed by its taller, flashier neighbors.

One Bunker Hill began life as the headquarters of the local electric company, Southern California Edison. At the time it was heralded for the engineering that was intended to make it earthquake resistant. Almost a hundred years and thousands of earthquakes later, the building continues to stand strong.

Not surprisingly, since this building was commissioned for the electric company, it was one of the first all-electric buildings in the West.
