In 1962 the Morning Examiner (founded in 1903) merged with the Evening Herald Express (founded approximately 1871) creating the Herald-Examiner newspaper. The building was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #178 in 1977 and closed in 1989.

Completed in 1914, the block-long Herald Examiner Building was commissioned by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst to house his Los Angeles Examiner newspaper. Designed by pioneering architect Julia Morgan, the first woman licensed to practice architecture in California, the building blends Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles. This project marked the first collaboration between Hearst and Morgan, preceding their more famous work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Today, the Herald Examiner Building houses Arizona State University's California Center, along with retail, dining, and event spaces.  Thank you to Jack Feldman.  Find more pics of the Herald-Examiner Building @ Water & Power.
