Stretch your legs and experience a few delights of historic

downtown Los Angeles. This diverse trail will guide you through

many layers of architectural history including the once thriving

historic Broadway Theater and Bank Districts, the Civic Center,

the original El Pueblo de Los Angeles and ends at Union Station,

the gateway to western migration in the early 20th century and

still a vital transportation mode today. The trail meanders through

many important buildings including the Bradbury Building, past

movie palaces, the Grand Central Market, the recently restored

City Hall and Olvera Street. Who says nobody walks in LA?

After dinner at the Fred Harvey Restaurant, you may want to hop

on the Metro gold line and get off at Chinatown, or take a short

cab ride to Little Tokyo before heading back to the hotel.

5th and Hill streets. Purchase your ticket at the bottom of the

stairs ($1.50 each way) and proceed through the turnstile. Follow

signs for the Red Line east. Get off at the Union Station stop (two

stops after Pershing Square).The Fred Harvey Room is off Union

Station’s main waiting room on the left as you enter from the

Columbia University, New York, NY

Ms. McCook was chosen from among the

is intended to promote the continued

advancement of research and a career

in historic preservation in the early stages

of a young professional. Ms. McCook will

use her scholarship to research Albert

Ledner buildings in and around the New

Orleans area.

APT is grateful for the ﬁ nancial and in-kind support of each of our

sponsors and exhibitors. Following is a list of those who had contributed
