Capitol Records Building

Modern Architecture · Los Angeles, California

The thirteen-storey tower on Vine Street that looks like a stack of records with a needle on top, which its architect always insisted was a coincidence. The light on the spire has blinked H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D in Morse code since 1956, and the echo chambers Les Paul designed in the basement are still used on records today.

1750 Vine Street, Los Angeles, California, 90028, United States
