  Plugged Hill Street tunnel exit at Sunset Boulevard

  Visual Materials

  This collection consists of 35mm Kodachrome slides taken between 1954 and 1972. This collection of photographs taken by amateur photographer Palmer Conner documents by street the physical and social changes of Bunker Hill during the earliest stages of redevelopment. The collection is particularly strong in its depiction of the Bunker Hill neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles during redevelopment in the 1950s. Images chiefly consist of views of commercial and residential building exteriors taken from the street, including images of both new construction and older buildings in the process of being demolished.
