   That sucks, love those round edges. Could be out of Fallout or Bioshock

   It’s so hard to find a color photo of it. I would love to see what shade the exterior was.

   Reminds me a little bit of the May Co. building.

   It looks like one of those beautiful Art Deco radios from the 1940s.

   Here’s its listing on Los Angeles Conservancy

   It was at Wilshire & Ridgeley, in the miracle mile. Apparently the site sat empty for decades before being redeveloped into mixed-use apartments and retail
