Charles Lee Powell (March 19, 1863 – July 22, 1959) was an American structural engineer and entrepreneur. He invented and patented new methods for building concrete structures underground, and is credited with building much of Los Angeles’ early infrastructure, including the Second and Third Street Tunnels, the Angels Flight funicular railway in the Bunker Hill district, and downtown sewerage systems. He was born in Virginia, and died at age 96 in Los Angeles, California. The University of Southern California has a Charles Lee Powell Hall designed by William Pereira in his honor.
