STROLL ONE BUNKER HILL |
This limestone and terra cotta building opened in March 1931 as the broad-shouldered headquarters of the Edison Company and as the first all-electric building in the West. This explains the carved stone panels above the main entrance depicting hydroelectric energy, light and power. The 13,000-square-foot lobby has 40-foot high ceilings and 17 varieties of marble. Such movies as The Phantom, 48 Hours, Arthur and MacArthur were filmed inside. The interior mural, the "Apotheosis of Power," was painted by noted artist Hugo Ballin, who also designed movie sets for Cecil B. de Mille. |
