About the Los Angeles Herald Examiner
The Los Angeles Herald Examiner was formed in 1962. It was created when two older newspapers joined together. These were the Los Angeles Herald-Express and the Los Angeles Examiner. Both of these newspapers had been around since the early 1900s.
How it Started
Before 1962, Los Angeles had two main newspapers from the Hearst company. The Herald-Express was an afternoon paper. The Examiner was a morning paper. To make one stronger newspaper, they decided to combine them. This created the Los Angeles Herald Examiner.
The Famous Building
The newspaper was based in a very special building. It's called the Los Angeles Herald Examiner Building. This building is located at 146 W. 11th Street in Downtown Los Angeles. It was built in 1914.
The building has a unique design. It mixes styles like Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. These styles are known for their beautiful arches and decorative details. Because of its history and design, it was named a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1977.
