CBS Columbia Square, Historic broadcasting complex on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, US
The Columbia Square comprises three buildings constructed in International Style with Streamline Moderne elements, featuring distinctive aluminum-framed glass walls and steel ribbon windows.
William Lescaze designed this two-million-dollar radio and television headquarters for CBS in 1937, marking the beginning of Hollywood's broadcasting center.
The studios recorded performances by Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Simon and Garfunkel, and hosted radio shows featuring Bob Hope and Jack Benny throughout the years.
The complex underwent extensive restoration work in the 2010s, including repairs to the concrete exterior, window mechanisms, and landscaping of the central courtyard.
Studio A contained specialized echo chambers that attracted numerous recording artists, including the Beach Boys, who used them for their signature sound.
