Description
View of the Century Plaza Towers, 44-stories and 571 feet tall, are two soaring towers with triangular floor plans. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki, the Towers were built in 1969-75. They have aluminum exteriors that reflect the sun, making them clearly seen around the Los Angeles Westside. They are the tallest buildings in Century City and sit on top of one of the world's largest underground parking garages. Photograph dated November 17, 1976.
