In 1948 Carnation began construction of their new world corporate headquarters located at 5045 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90036. There was also a cafeteria and parking area. The building was nine stories and was built at a cost of $2,000,000. Architect was Stile Oliver Clements and contractor, builder was William Simpson. It included 5075 Wilshire which was a restaurant, cafeteria next door. The grand opening was August 31, 1949 which was also Carnation's 50th Anniversary since the company was founded in 1899. The company was founded by Elbridge Amos Stuart. (Information from Los Angeles Times article August 30, 31, 1949).

The new building included the planting of six 78' tall palm trees which were taken from Manhattan Blvd nearby. There was originally a stream on the site which caused issues when they were building it. The stream was directed below the property when nearby developers built another building diverting it. For this reason the building is built on 645 steel pilings. 

The current addresses are 5045, 5055, 5075 Wilshire Blvd. ( Google map ). The building is 78,486 sf  on a 190,237 sf street to street lot. It was originally nine stories and a penthouse for a total of ten floors. In 1993 there was an addition of an "11" story building directly to the west of the original building. It was actually 10 floors and a basement. The original was built with an elevator and air conditioning. The neon letters on the west side were 57' long and the "C" was 17' tall.

The current owners are Dsg Wilshire LLC & Jw Wilshire LLC. It's currently assessed at about $52,000,000 per the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor. Assessment does not equal value. Today the main address is 5055 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036, Census tract 2110, Tract 5049, zoned LAC4. Legal description is TR=5049 VAC STS,EX OF ST LOT 119 AND ALL OF LOTS 116,117 AND 118 . This information is for people trying to find records for the property. They're not under the address or original APN, lot numbers.

Below are the original permit, 1993 addition, certificates of occupancy and the plat map. There was a lot tie among all the lots which is why the lot numbers, APNs and addresses keep changing.
