Description
The Pacific Electric Subway Terminal Building, completed in 1926 and restored around 1990, is a large twelve-story office building based on 16th-century Italian prototype, designed by Schultze and Weaver. For years, it served as the terminus of a trolley line that connected downtown with Hollywood. The segment of the line near downtown went under Bunker Hill, hence the name "Subway Terminal."
