Trees and buildings prevented me from precisely re-creating this
shot. The camera was north of where I was standing when I took this
photo from the top of the parking structure south of Disney Hall at 1st
Street and Grand. Recall that Bunker Hill was lowered during urban
renewal.

Too much has changed. The old State Office Building is gone and the Times Building has undergone a massive expansion. Only building left is City Hall.
