This edition of the free monthly LAVA Sunday Salon focused on the holy grail of Los Angeles mass transit history: the sealed-off streetcar station and tunnel located beneath the Subway Terminal Building (Schultze and Weaver, 1925).
If you’ve only got a few minutes, try our Subway Terminal Tunnel tour sneak peek:

It took ten years to make this happen, and this video goes out to the hundreds of hopeful folks on the waiting list. The program begins in the basement of Grand Central Market, with a short history of the Subway Terminal Building and Los Angeles streetcar service. Then we march down Hill Street and descend.
Join architectural historians Richard Schave and Nathan Marsak and Bunker Hill native son Gordon Pattison for a trip back in time, to tour the real Los Angeles underground!

@@esotouric Los Angeles made a huge mistake by getting rid of the Pacific Electric street cars also known as the Red cars and the original Los Railway LARy Yellow street cars during the late 1950's and the early 1960's.

@@esotouric A lot of people today don't know that the Pacific Electric was the original subway on Hill and 4th street in downtown Los Angeles. They should turn the old Subway Terminal Building into a museum.

@@SuperheroJunior the most recent proposal we've seen for the subway--not the whole building, which is residential--is a food court concept. the Cultural Heritage Commissioners sent them back to the drawing board to come up with a design more respectful of the historic elements. It is certainly possible that there would be some historic interpretation in this space as well. We'll keep an eye out for future hearings, and share the info on our social media.

@@esotouric Oh yes. Keep me updated about what they will do in the old space where the Pacific Electric trains once ran. I hope that they turn that historic site into something special.
