Adventures of Superman

(1952-'58) adventure series

Contrary to popular belief, the Industrial Trust Tower (1927) in Providence was not the model for the Daily Planet. The newspaper's building exterior in the series is actually Los Angeles City Hall, completed in 1928. Although the structures share a similar style, they were designed by separate teams of architects.
