Los Angeles Times building

The Los Angeles Times building refers to five buildings that have housed the Los Angeles Times newspaper offices since 1881. The fourth site, Times Mirror Square, is currently composed of four structures but in the absence of other specifics "Los Angeles Times building" usually refers to the 1935 building there.


 * 1) Mirror Building, home of Mirror Printing Office and Book Bindery (1881–1887), located near Spring and Temple
 * 2) Los Angeles Times building (1887–1910), located on the northwest corner of 1st and Broadway; this is the building that was destroyed in the deadly Los Angeles Times bombing of 1910
 * 3) Los Angeles Times building (1912–1934), new construction on the same site as previous, rebuilt as a four-story building with "castle-like" clock tower
 * 4) Los Angeles Times building (1935–2018), street address 202 W. First Street, original structure on the southwest corner of 1st and Spring designed by Gordon Kaufmann. Construction began 1931. Eventually the Times expanded to fill the whole block as Times Mirror Square, bounded by 1st, 2nd, Spring and Broadway.  Later Times Mirror Square additions included the 1948 Rowland H. Crawford expansion, the 1973 William Pereira addition, and a parking structure.
 * 5) Los Angeles Times building (2018— ), a mid-century eight-story building on Imperial Highway in El Segundo, located near the Los Angeles International Airport
