CAPITOL RECORDS BUILDING - HOLLYWOOD
The blinking light atop the Capitol Records Building in
Hollywood, Los Angeles spells out the word “Hollywood” in Morse code. This was
an idea of Capitol’s then-president, Alan Livingston, who wanted to advertise
Capitol’s status as the first record label with a base on the west coast.
The construction of the building was completed in April 1956. The beacon atop the building was activated by Leila Morse, the granddaughter of Samuel Morse.
