Description

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-nineteenth century to its present day. 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. Any fan of American architecture will treasure Marsak s analysis of buildings that have crowned the Hill: the exuberance of Victorian shingle and spindlework, from Mission to Modern, from Queen Anne to Frank Gehry, Bunker Hill has been home to it all, the ever-changing built environment.
