One Bunker Hill
|
|
Los Angeles, CA
Once called the Southern California Edison Building, One
Bunker Hill was
designed with the influence of Art Deco, a style that was highly popular
in the late 1920's and early 1930's. The term Art Deco was coined in 1968
by Bevis Hillier, a British historian, to describe an artistic style that
was characterized by entwining past styles of ancient Mayan, Assyrian and
Egyptian art works with the modern industrial age. The lobby also features
over 25 different types of marble stones intricately inlaid square-within-a-diamond-within
a square patterns.
Opened in 1931 One Bunker Hill was one of the world's first
all-electric buildings and first in the Western United States.
Its lighting, air handling machinery, mail tubes, clocks,
elevators and all equipment were designed to operate electrically.
The building's steel skeleton was designed to incorporate the
most advanced seismic calculations yet performed to enable
it to withstand severe earthquakes. All of the earthquake bracing and special
connections were both manually welded and riveted.
One Bunker Hill building as one of the oldest structures
with its superior location, historical significance and distinguished
architecture is the cornerstone of the prestigious Bunker
Hill neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles.

The Bradbury Building |
|
Los Angeles, CA
The Bradbury Building, built in 1893 is considered
one of the finest architectural masterpieces in Southern
California. The dramatic central court made of glazed
brick walls, ornamental cast iron made in France, tiling, stairs of Belgian
marble and polished wood railings is flooded in light from the huge skylight
five stories above.
The history is as dramatic as the architecture itself.
Lewis Bradbury was a mining millionaire turned real
estate developer when, in 1892, he decided to construct a five story
building at Third and Broadway. The plans developed by a well known architect,
Sumner Hunt disappointed Mr. Bradbury who wanted something unique. |
| |
Believing in the potential of an obscure
draftsman, he asked 32-year old George Wyman to create
a design. At first, Wyman declined the offer, but after
debating the matter, he decided to get advice from his
brother, who was then... dead for six years. The forerunner
of the quija board wrote down a "spirit" message
that read: "Take Bradbury Building. It will make you famous".
Encouraged by the message "from
beyond" Wyman decided to design the building based on Edward Bellamy's
science fiction story "Looking Backward" published in 1887,
which described a utopian civilization in the year
2000. In the book, one of the author's imagined visions
resembles the interior of the Bradbury building: "A vast hall
of light, received not alone from the windows on
all sides but from the dome, the point of which was a hundred feet above...The
walls were frescoed in mellow tints, to soften without absorbing the light
which flooded the interior."
Los Angeles developer and former owner, Ira Yellin
hired architect Brenda Levin to renovate the building.
The two year renovations also brought the building up to building codes.
Elements such as alabaster lighting sconces, fire exit lights and sprinkler
system and hardware to meet ADA requirements were added. $2.4 million
was invested to bring the building up to California's earthquake codes
by anchoring the exterior walls at each floor level. Concrete frames behind
the storefront piers and block shear walls were placed between the basement
and second floors for stiffness. Decorative sandstone facade elements
were also secured from behind.
Bradbury is also certified as National
Historic Landmark. Over the century old Bradbury
still offers modern office environment to its Tenants and a convenient
walking distance location near the major cultural and business centers.

550 Montgomery Street |
|
San Francisco, CA
550 Montgomery, originally the Bank of Italy Building, was completed in 1908 as the headquarters of Amadeo Peter Giannini’s Bank of Italy after their original headquarters building was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. In 1921, the Bank of Italy moved their headquarters to a new location, at which time 550 Montgomery became the headquarters of Giannini’s Liberty Bank System. Bank of Italy merged with, and adopted the name of, Bank of America in 1929. The southern half of the building commonly called 540 Montgomery was constructed in 1931. From the 1930’s until 1986 when the Bank of San Francisco moved in, the building served as a Bank of America branch. The lease for this building was transferred to First Bank in 2001. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978 and is a San Francisco Category 1 historic building. 550 Montgomery is considered a bulwark and one of the most significant post-fire buildings erected in the Financial District. The Property's corner location, at Montgomery and Clay, is also rich with history as the supposed landing spot for Captain John B. Montgomery in 1846 before Yerba Buena Cove was filled in.
The San Francisco Planning Department’s Historic Resource Inventory states that 550 Montgomery was an
altered version of the winning design, in a much publicized design competition, for the new Bank of Italy headquarters. The façade features a deeply rusticated granite base and tall arched street level windows and an
entry echoed in the arched windows on the mezzanine and upper two stories. |
The external structure is predominantly original with the exception of the replacement of the original doors and the addition of a secondary entrance. The interior of the upper floors and the basement have been extensively modernized. The first floor retains much of the original plaster and marble work including tables, marble counters, wainscoting, and light fixtures. The original bronze teller cages have been replaced with newer protective cages that retain the look of the originals. The adjacent 540 Montgomery is in a compatible, but simplified Depression Era design.
