The E. Clem Wilson Building, also called the Samsung Building, is a 55.64 m (182.5 ft) Art Deco / Art Moderne midrise building at 5225 Wilshire Boulevard at La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, California.

The building has had multiple different names from signage rights, starting with Mutual of Omaha, then becoming Asahi Breweries in 1992 and Samsung in 2001. It now remains a blank blue sign.

The building is currently managed by VisionQuest Ventures.

This building was used as the headquarters of Daily Planet in the first season of Adventures of Superman.^[3]
