Looking down the tracks and down 3rd Street from the top of Angels Flight. The railway was closed on May 18, 1969, when the Bunker Hill area underwent a controversial total redevelopment which destroyed and displaced a community of almost 22,000 working-class families renting rooms in architecturally significant but run-down buildings, to a modern mixed-use district of high-rise commercial buildings and modern apartment and condominium complexes. Both of the Angels Flight Cars, Sinai and Olivet were then placed in storage at 1200 S. Olive Street, Los Angeles. This was the location of Sid and Linda Kastner's United Business Interiors. At this location the Kastners maintained a private museum "The Bandstand". The Bandstand featured Antique Coin Operated Musical Instruments where one of the cars (Sinai) was on display in the museum. Olivet was stored in the garage of the building.
