At the time of filming, the El Segundo office complex (now owned by Northrop Grumman) was the headquarters of TRW Corporation.

In the cleverly framed shot above, the pedestrian bridge in the foreground neatly blocks our view of the huge red TRW logo at the top of the white building.

Sorry. I never did figure out how to share the images. I’m an old fudd (as my kids say)

But since my friend works there and advised you can take photos on the outside as it’s not a closed off military base, I might grab ye’ old camera and relocate the images.
I’ve done the same at Vasquez rocks a few years back. My wife was “delighted” to take my photos in the places that Kirk stood.
 
Fun story (I've told it before, but long ago):

I am a professional space historian. My very first work took me to that big building in Space Park because the STL (TRW) museum was in the basement run by retirees. Now I understand the museum has been liquidated. I rescued and scanned a vast number of irreplaceable documents one weekend, having been let in by one of the docents to save what I could.

Anyway, back in 2006, I interviewed some of the folks there, and then they took me to lunch in the commissary. The area hadn't changed at all since the episode had been filmed 40 years prior, and as I went down the escalator, it was all I could do to avoid looking for flying pancake monsters.

Now, I think it was an episode on the History Channel, where an individual was showing footage of an N-1 rocket explosion....but the footage was actualy of the Soyuz fire/abort of the 1980's....did you catch that one?
