Architect G. Albert Lansburgh designed the Renaissance Revival style Warner Brothers Hollywood Theater, which opened in 1928. The office space on the upper floors of the building became KFWB radio studios, which used the two radio masts on top of the theater. The building has also been known as the Warner Cinerama Theatre and the Pacific Hollywood Theatre. In 1992 the building was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #572. Photograph article dated November 28, 1959 partially reads, "The pleasant voiced secretary of Cinerama's Public Relations and Special Services Department at the Warner Hollywood Theater, qualifies as a sort of mail order angel to the mountains of Cinerama patrons writing and calling in with varied and sometimes exasperating requests for their trip to Hollywood to see 'Cinerama Holiday.' Miss Kay Isbell often slits open her morning mail to such triple orders as reservations to a particular performance, accommodations to a hotel nearest the Warners Theater, 'within walking distance of my church' and suggested eating places."
