About Capitol Records
The Capitol Records Building, also known as the Capitol Records Tower, is a 13-story tower building in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States. Designed by Louis Naidorf of Welton Becket Associates, it is one of the city's landmarks, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Construction began soon after British music company EMI acquired Capitol Records in 1955, and was completed in April 1956. Located just north of the Hollywood and Vine intersection, the Capitol Records Tower houses the consolidation of Capitol Records' West Coast operations and is home to the recording studios and echo chambers of Capitol Studios. The building was designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2006 and sits in the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District. The Capitol Records Building, designed by architect Louis Naidorf is considered to be the world's first circular office building ever constructed.
