Dreams of Bunker Hill

On my last trip to Los Angeles I finally got a chance to stop in IKO IKO. And while I loved all the beautifully handmade items that were housed in the shop, I was particularly intrigued by the building that housed the shop. There were a few examples in the area directly next door and across the street. I couldn't help but feel transported to a time when the residences on Bunker Hill still existed almost like I had just stepped into John Fanté's Ask the Dust. I'm not sure who lives there as I didn't see anyone coming or going but they just seem magical to me.
