Hollywood - Capitol Records Building

The unique Capitol Records Building is a circular shaped multi story building. It was built in 1956, designed by Welton Becket, who intended it to look like a stack of vinyl records sitting on a turntable complete with a stylus on top. Although, the younger generation of music fans may not recognize what is now an obsolete piece of equipment. The building is a bit of an icon in Hollywood and can be appreciated with a simple drive by.

A 1972 mural by local artist Richard Wyatt pays tribute to the artists and clubs that made Hollywood a center for innovative jazz.
