Spring Street
Los Angeles, 2006
Spring Street was the financial center of Los Angeles for decades, until the Bunker Hill highrises started going up in the late 1950s. The primary architectureal styles featured in the former bank buildings (most of them currently converted to condominiums or rental units) are Beaux Arts and Art Deco.
For several months, I was one of the volunteer docents who gave walking tours of these grand old buildings for the Los Angeles Conservancy, which seeks to preserve the city's architectural heritage.
David and I took a tour of some units at an open house in the Bartlett Building. The 14th-floor units (lofts) offer panoramic views (and, alas, are priced accordingly); I'll post some of the photos I took up there later.
