What style of architecture is the Capitol Records Building?

Last updated September 28, 2020 by ZagBot Comment

The Capitol Records Tower in Hollywood, Los Angeles, is built in the Googie architectural style.

Located near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, the distinctive white tower designed by Louis Naidorf was completed in 1956 and its cylindrical shape with window awnings on each level and a spike emerging from the top resembles a stack of records on a turntable.

The Googie style of architecture was common in Southern California from the late 1940s and characterized by futuristic geometric designs influenced by car culture, the space age and jet travel.
