One Bunker Hill

Though these days it sits in the shadow of the US Bank Tower, the former Southern California Edison Co. headquarters once pushed up against the city's 13-story height limit. The 1931 structure features multiple setbacks that stack up into a classic, sately appearance, aside from the 1980s addition of greenhouses—which are due to be converted back to open air patios. Make sure to look up toward the reliefs and ceiling of the entrance rotunda, and step inside the lobby to find a majestic mix of different types of marble.
