Photograph taken as part of the Federal Writers' Project. The Columbia Broadcasting System building opened on April 30, 1938, but it had previously been the old Nestor Studios location, which housed early radio stations. The company's sprawling production facilities are at another location--at Beverly and Fairfax in West Hollywood. The architect for this building was William Lescaze. The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs on a stage to an audience at the CBS Columbia Square building, located at 6121 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, for a KNX radio broadcast. Photograph dated May 24, 1939.
