Capitol Records Building

The Capitol Records Building is one of Hollywood's great pieces of pop architecture. The round tower is often compared to a stack of records, even if that was not the original design brief, and it still carries the glamour of the label's Los Angeles studios.

You normally come to look from outside rather than tour the building. Pair it with the Walk of Fame or nearby theatres, and treat it as a quick but satisfying stop for music history and mid-century Los Angeles style.
