A True Hollywood Landmark: The Capitol Records Building🎼🎺🎷🪕🪘🥁
The Capitol Records Building is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Los Angeles. Located at 1750 Vine Street, just off the Hollywood Walk of Fame, this striking round building is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city. Often referred to as “the world’s first circular office building,” its unique design makes it stand out, evoking the image of a stack of vinyl records, which is a fitting tribute to its rich musical history.
As the headquarters of Capitol Records, this building has played an essential role in the music industry. Many legendary artists, such as The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole, have recorded here. Even if you’re not a music buff, the history and cultural significance of this building are enough to make it worth a visit.
The surrounding area is also fantastic for visitors, with nearby attractions like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and Dolby Theatre all within walking distance. You might not be able to tour the inside of the building, but just being near such a historical location in the heart of Hollywood is an experience in itself.
If you’re in LA, don’t miss the chance to snap some photos of this...
Read moreI’ve not had the chance to go inside this building, tho have passed it so many times! I’ve worked in the past as a chauffeur of musicians who’ve recorded here, tho out of respect, have been unable to satisfy my curiosity of their activities inside here. Nonetheless, I do like to show this iconic structure to visitors, as the first circular office building in the world. As if it were built to resemble a stack of records with a needle on top! A stop at Hollywood and Vine, wouldn’t be complete without seeing this place! Most appealing to them is the large mural of musicians on the south facing side wall, visible from Vine Street. I don’t have to say a word, as most people recognize at least some of the famous likenesses...
