Old Lincoln Heights Jail
I've walked past this building for years. It's not interpreted, not signposted, not celebrated. That absence of interpretation is its own historical argument.
The 1926 jail building in Lincoln Heights is the oldest surviving jail structure in Los Angeles, visible from Pasadena Avenue. Most Angelenos drive past without recognition.
