Historical Data	Located at 141 North Vermont Avenue, the KEHE/KFI Radio Broadcast Studio Building was built in 1936, designed by Stiles O. Clements of the architectural firm of Morgan, Walls, and Clements. It was built in the Streamline Moderne architectural style with a central stepped pylon tower balanced between two wings decorated with horizontal moldings. The overall aesthetic generated is one of horizontal stability and vertical energy which symbolized the new mode of motorized living prevalent in the 1930's. The KEHE studio was originally constructed for the Hearst Radio, Inc. but was sold in 1939 to Earle C. Anthony who owned both KFI and KECA. KFI ran in the studio until it was sold in 1975. Subsquently the building has been used by the Koreatown community, housing first the Korean Theatre, then the Korea Times L.A. Inc. between the 1980's and 1990's, and most recently, the Korean Community Cultural Center. In 2003, the KEHE/KFI Radio Broadcast Studio Building was demolished to make room for the LAUSD Belmont Elementary School No. 6 despite its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places and its significance as a historical example of Streamline Moderne architecture.
