Summary
Significance: Building 1 was the corporate headquarters for the Hughes Aircraft Company for 35 years. Howard Hughes and his top level executives had their offices on the second floor, and decisions that impacted the national defense and the direction of technological advancement were made there. Its richly appointed hardwood interiors earned the building the nickname "Mahogany Row." The building functioned as a reception center for senior military officers and other visiting dignitaries, in addition to initially housing Customer Relations, the Legal Department, and Planning on the second floor, and Purchasing and Industrial Relations on the ground floor. Its modern design included a well-appointed lobby with a large oil painting of Howard Hughes next to his H-1 Racer, the plane in which he set the 1935 air speed record.

The Bauhaus was influenced by 19th and early-20th-century artistic directions such as the Arts and Crafts movement, as well as Art Nouveau and its many international incarnations, including the Jugendstil and Vienna Secession. In the Weimar Republic, a renewed liberal spirit allowed an upsurge of radical experimentation in all the arts. The most important influence on Bauhaus was modernism, a movement whose origins lay as early as the 1880s. After World War Germans of left-wing views were influenced by the cultural experimentation that followed the Russian Revolution, such as constructivism. The Bauhaus style, however, also known as the International Style, was marked by harmony between the function of an object or a building and its design. Bauhaus is characterized by simplified forms, rationality, and functionality, and the idea that mass production was reconcilable with the individual artistic spirit.
