Description: The City of Los Angeles declared the house Historical-Cultural Monument 27 in May of 1964. It was demolished in 1969
THE LOW AND THE MIGHTY-- An ancient residence on Bunker Hill called "The Castle" stands virtually alone now--except for the looming giant in the background, the mammoth new Union Bank Bldg. At 42 stories, the skyscraper leaves the top of the hill far below -- but not behind. The Castle, built in 1882 at 325 S. Bunker Hill Ave., is being preserved by the city as part of Los Angeles past.
