Mattachine Steps, Public stairway in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, United States

The Mattachine Steps consist of 147 concrete steps connecting residential streets through the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

In 2012, these steps received official recognition to commemorate Harry Hay and the Mattachine Society, which advocated for gay rights during the 1950s.

The steps mark the location where Harry Hay resided and established the Mattachine Society, making this site central to LGBTQ+ history in Los Angeles.

Visitors can access the steps from Cove Avenue and integrate them into walking routes that connect to the Silver Lake Reservoir Trail.
