The Beaux Arts style Angels Flight is an historic narrow gauge funicular railway which began service in 1901. It was built with financing provided by Colonel J.W. Eddy, an engineer-lawyer and friend of Abraham Lincoln., lawyer, engineer and friend of President Abraham Lincoln.
The original railway, at the time known as the Los Angeles Incline Railway, was undoubtedly one of the shortest, running from its base at Hill Street to a terminus two blocks uphill at Olive Street. The concept consisted of two counterbalanced rail cars, the Sinai and Olivet; while one was being pulled uphill by metal cables, the other descended by the forces of gravity.
The railway operated at its original location up until 1969 when it was shut down to make room for the redevelopment of Bunker Hill, and reopened at a new location in 1996, connecting Olive with Hill Street and the Grand Central Market. Since then the railway has had a checkered history due to aging components and flaws in the redesigned system. It is currently closed. UPDATE: After an extension restoration, the railway officially reopened today, August 31, 2017. Angel's Flight has been featured in many films, most recently the 2016 romantic comedy-drama film, La La Land.
Angels Flight was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 4) in 1962. In 2000, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Located at 351 S. Hill Street in downtown Los Angeles. Please do not use this image in any media without my permission.

The First National Bank was established on this site in 1900 by a group of prominent Long Beach businessmen; the present structure was built to replace the original 1896 3-story building. This is best preserved historic commercial building remaining in Long Beach from the period 1900 - 1919. Designed in French Renaissance Revival style, its corner clock tower is a unique landmark. A major restoration/rehabilitation project was carried out in the 1980's, becoming the first historic rehab in the City to meet state and federal requirements for tax credits. The ground floor doorways and storefronts, and the decorative cornice on the roof, were reconstructed. A fine restaurant, L'Opera, is housed in the rebuilt original banking hall; the richly detailed crown molding is particularly noteworthy. This building has had many names over its history, including Bank of America, Metropolitan and Enloe Building.
The bank is a Long Beach Historical Landmark, located at 101 Pine Avenue in downtown Long Beach, California.
