1964, Profile view of "The Dome" shortly before a fire destroyed the building.  

On the morning of July 25, 1964, the Dome burst into flames.  [Odd how that happens so frequently during redevelopment eras.]  The building would be razed later that year to make room for a parking lot which existed until 2014 when construction began for the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, completed in 2015.  

1960, View showing the Dome Hotel and Apartments, previously called the Minnewaska Hotel, located on the southwest corner of 2nd and Grand Avenue.  The lot to the right is the future location of the Walt Disney Concert Hall.  In the background through the haze and smog can be seen the Richfield Oil Company Building, which was demolished in 1969 to make way for the ARCO Towers.  Thanks to Water and Power. 

1960, View looking southwest from the LA County Courthouse at 1st and Grand Avenue showing a large empty lot sitting on top of Bunker Hill.  This will become the site of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, completed in 2003.  The Multi-story building with the dome seen in the upper left is the Dome Hotel and Apartments, SW corner of 2nd and Grand Avenue.  Today, the Broad Contemporary Art Museum stands at the SW corner of 1st and Grand.  Thanks to Water and Power. 

1963, View looking south on Grand Avenue at 1st Street with the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, right, and the LA County Courthouse, left.  In the distance can be seen the AT&T Madison Complex Tandem Office Building and the Dome Hotel and Apartments.
