The building, designed by Gordon B. Kaufmann, opened its doors in 1935. Immediately acclaimed, the building even received a gold medal at the 1937 Paris Exposition. Harry Chandler, president and CEO of the Times-Mirror Co, called it “a monument to the progress of the city and Southern California as a whole.” The famous newspaper vacated the premises in 2018, leaving the building vacant. It sits where the Los Angeles business district was in the 1980s and 1990s.
