I came across this newspaper clipping today.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I never noticed the old Los Angeles Times eagle on top of the 1935 building.




(as a reminder, it's the eagle that survived the 1910 bombing)

below: Sure enough there it is atop the 1935 building. I guess I just always overlooked it.

below: You can see it in this 1937 photograph as well.

So my question is: Where is the eagle now?

My first thought was that it might be in the lobby, but the lobby has this huge globe as it's centerpiece.

Does anyone know what happened to the eagle?? ...anyone know when it was taken down?
