Collection ID	Roy Hankey Collection Los Angeles Photographers Collection

Historical Data	The Capitol Records building, located at 1750 Vine Street, is a unique 13-story, 150 ft high-rise cylindrical structure that was designed in 1956 by Welton Becket and built by contractor C. L. Peck Co. The wide curved awnings over the windows of each floor and the tall spike emerging from the top of the building combine to give it the appearance of a stack of vinyl 45s on a turntable, although it was not originally designed with that idea in mind. The blinking red light on the tip of the rooftop spire spells out the word "Hollywood" in Morse code every few seconds, and has done so since the building's opening in April of 1956.
Description	Night view of Bob's Burger Bar, with the Capitol Records building displaying Christmas lights in the shape of a Christmas tree atop the roof in the background.
