✎ The six-story base of the headquarters building was commissioned by the founder, William Randolph Hearst, and awarded to the architect Joseph Urban. The building was completed in 1928. The original cast stone facade has been preserved in the new design as a designated landmark site. Originally built as the base for a proposed skyscraper, the construction of the tower was postponed due to the Great Depression. The new tower addition was completed, nearly eighty years later, in 2006. The tower is 40-stories tall (597ft.) featuring an uncommon triangular framing pattern (also known as a diagrid) constructed of steel & glass. It is the world headquarters of the media conglomerate Hearst Corporation.
