The building served as the West Coast headquarters for the National Broadcasting Company from 1927 to 1942;[8] the executive offices were located on the 21st floor and the studio offices were located on the 22nd. The 22nd floor was later occupied by peer-to-peer lending firm Prosper Marketplace. [citation needed]
