Uni High sits on a fault
University High School in West. L.A. has been around a long time. It was built shortly after the former city of Sawtelle agreed in 1922 to be annexed into Los Angeles. Uni used to be named for President Warren G. Harding, but that was dropped after the Teapot Dome scandal tainted his reputation.

The Los Angeles Public Library photo is from 1925.
