Actually there was never a microwave tower on
that building; that's 434 S Grand and it's always just looked like that. However, just next door to its north at 420 they built
another telephone building, designed by Woodford & Bernard and built in 1962. THAT one had the 185', 250-ton tower:

However, that tower didn't last too long. In 1966 the tower was removed/demolished, and seven stories added to the structure, and then the tower was rebuilt in a slightly different configuration:
