Bunker Hill and Downtown’s Historic Core have seen an immense amount of change over the years; however, the area still evokes the same grandeur of its golden era. Starting out as an upper class development, Bunker Hill soon transitioned into one of Los Angeles’ major working class areas in the 1910s, eventually giving way to high rises in the 1960s. Today, Bunker Hill and Downtown’s Historic Core district continue developing and growing, maintaining its historic status as the metropolitan center of our city.
