In 1867, Prudent Beaudry, a wealthy entreprenuer who
later became mayor of Los Angeles, purchased at
public auction, 20 acres of the hillside that would
become Bunker Hill.
Because of the hill’s commanding views, he knew that
it would make for an opulent subdivision. He developed
the peak of Bunker Hill with lavish two-story Victorian
mansions, apartments and hotels that became
famous as homes for the upper-class,
educated residents of Los Angeles.

But the steep topography of the hill,
rising 100 feet into the air, presented a physical barrier.
In 1901, another entreprenuer, Col. James Ward Eddy,
constructed Angel’s Flight, a short incline railway system
of two counterbalanced cable cars moving up and down
parallel tracks along the steep grade between Third and Hill
Streets and the top of fashionable Bunker Hill.

Angels Flight reopened in March, 2010, it is once
again back in service taking people up and down the
hill to work, shopping, or lunch at the Grand Central Market.
Built in 1968, Bunker Hill Tower was one of the original
buildings in the extensive Bunker Hill Redevelopment Project.
The project was proposed by the City of Los Angeles in 1955
and is scheduled to end in 2015.
