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 caption dated September 12, 1957 reads, "Atara Barzely, 'Miss Israel of 1957,' asked to visit Warner's Hollywood Theater and see shots of her homeland prominently featured in 'Seven Wonders of the World.' She's shown here second from right. Others are Anna Ambrosini, hostess director; Howard Williams, manager, and V. J. Rosen, director of special services."
