This is one of those miraculous photos of Los Angeles that you rarely see: a prominent building that hasn’t changed much over the years. This is the CBS studios—known as “CBS Columbia Square—at the corner of Sunset Blvd and Gower St and is where many of nationally broadcast radio shows. It’s no longer radio studios of course. It’s now called NeueHouse and is a shared office space facility, but the building itself isn’t all that different.
And in December 2017 – not much has changed except the palm trees:
Bell was originally at the other end of the block outside the Christie (ex-Nestor) Studio complex, even as it was being torn down. A “101” highway marker appears later at that spot during the Columbia Square era. This shot fills in the gap.

Note the El Camino Real bell marker near the corner, now moved to sites along Route 101 (the Hollywood Freeway).
Well spotted, David. I didn’t notice the tell-tale bell!

I saw that building last July.
