Bunker Hill Lobbies

Let’s talk the lobbies of Bunker Hill! Of course there’s no returning to the Melrose or Trenton or Fremont, so you’ll have to content yourself with the modern lobbies of post-redevelopment Bunker Hill. You’ve likely been inside some of Bunker Hill’s more important and sublime interiors, like the Music Center; other lobbies are well-documented online, like the Bonaventure; or were one of the few to appear in Marsak’s Guide to Bunker Hill (e.g., the O’Melveny & Myers Tower).

But as you sit with your copy of Marsak’s Guide to Bunker Hill and gaze upon the Hill’s contemporary structures do you not often think I should actually go in there, and see what those granite-clad 1980s corporate lobbies look like!

Ok, maybe you’ve never thought that, but, I would be remiss in my duties as the purveyor of all things Bunker Hill to not show you what you were missing. Of course nothing can replace the actual educational and inspirational opportunity of visiting a space yourself, basking in its grandeur and engaging all your senses in the physical environment…but you know what, until that time, here are some photographs:

Now with all this talk about visiting lobbies, and the mentions made of Marsak’s Guide to Bunker Hill, perhaps you should get a copy of MGtBH to use as your guidebook for L.A.’s Museum of Modernism—

And then, on to Bunker Hill!
