Capitol Records Building

The Capitol Records Building was constructed by EMI in 1956 to resemble a stack of records, making it the first circular office tower in the world. Its recording facilities, including the famous Echo Chamber (designed by Les Paul) are still operational today. There are plans for a mixed use complex to be built around the Capitol Records Building but the iconic building and the views to it will be preserved (attention also paid to ensuring no damage to the acoustics will occur during construction).
