The Department of Water and Power Building crowns downtown L.A.

The Department of Water and Power's John Ferraro Building opened in 1961. It crowns downtown L.A. alongside the Los Angeles Music Center, both of which stand on what was once a Victorian-studded neighborhood on Bunker Hill. The '60s were characterized by such massive renewal efforts. Nearly 50 years on, some victors in this tussle are now themselves in danger of tear-down.
