This is the impressive lobby of the Southern California Edison building, now known only as One Bunker Hill. Many examples of art deco in Los Angeles pay tribute to life in Southern California by incorporating palm trees, waves, angels, the sun, etc. In contrast, this building is very classically inspired but still impressive.
In retrospect, I should have taken this as multiple shots and stitched them. I could have controlled the perspective distortion. However, the ultra-wide single-shot view here does accentuate the vertical space within the main lobby.
By the way, although it is not especially visible in this shot, the mural at the end of the room is by Hugo Ballin, who created many notable Art Deco murals in Los Angeles, including the rotunda ceiling at Griffith Park Observatory. The mural is titled "The Apotheosis of Power." It was completed in 1930.

Palazzo Edison sorse nel 1892 su progetto dell'architetto Enrico Combi per conto della Società delle Strade Ferrate del Mediterraneo. Nel 1923 T.A.Edison acquistò l'edificio e vi strasferì la sua sede.
All'interno del palazzo si trovano 2 bellissime vetrate a cupola, busti, lampadari, bassorilievi, balaustre, fregi, decorazioni, una fontana di marmo con incisi i versi della laude di S.Francesco, l'impianto di posta pneumatica e la dinamo ,costruita negli Stati Uniti, usata nel 1892 per compiere il primo esperimento di illuminazione elettrica a Milano, di cui giovò il Teatro alla Scala

The lamp is lit with an "Edison" bulb, a clear glass bulb with a special shape, in which the individual filaments are visible. We have more bulbs as well, in varying shapes.
