E. Clem Wilson Building, Art Deco skyscraper on Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, United States
The E. Clem Wilson Building rises 184 feet above Wilshire Boulevard with limestone cladding, geometric shapes, and multiple setbacks forming accessible terraces at different levels.
Meyer & Holler designed this 13-story commercial structure in 1929, during a period of rapid urban development and architectural innovation in Los Angeles.
The building served as the headquarters of Daily Planet during the first season of Adventures of Superman, reflecting its role in popular entertainment media.
Located at 5225 Wilshire Boulevard at La Brea Avenue, the building features steel columns and concrete slabs that allow flexible interior configurations for office spaces.
The structure has undergone multiple identity changes through its signage rights, transforming from Mutual of Omaha to Asahi Breweries and later Samsung Building.
