“Bunker Hill Revisited,” 60 min. Through rare images and film clips, architectural historian Nathan Marsak will present the cultural and visual record of Bunker Hill, from its earliest conception as a subdivision, to lair of lofty mansions, to its wholesale destruction at the hands of the city and subsequent rebirth as our cultural acropolis, banking center and beyond. The most common narrative, wherein Bunker Hill was a hotbed of sin and vice until razed by a shadowy cabal of moneymen, is at best only partially true. In fact, plans for its destruction stemmed from social engineering birthed many decades previous - plans that chiefly affected a vast swath of an urban elderly poor who survived on their great sense of neighborhood. Special attention will be paid to the built environment of Bunker Hill, which once included a breathtaking concentration of first-rate structures by top-shelf architects, disposed of en masse in the greatest urban cleansing in American history. Followed by a 50th anniversary screening of ANGEL’S FLIGHT which offers a rare glimpse at the neighborhood just before its demolition.
