Scarce! "The Bunker Hill Story" was one a series of historical Los Angeles pamphlets published by Walt Wheelock's La Siesta Press in the 1960s, at the dawn of the historic preservation movement. Chronicling the history of the Downtown Los Angeles neighborhood at a time when its demolition was ongoing, this bittersweet community portrait concludes with a status report on the Community Redevelopment Project's work removing historic structures and reshaping the landscape, with Angels Flight and the last two mansions then still standing.
