The Bradbury Building is an architectural landmark in downtown Los Angeles, California, United States. It was built in 1893, it’s now a five-story office building. It has a skylit atrium of access walkways, stairs and elevators, and ornate ironwork. It appears in many works of fiction and has been the site of many movie and television shoots and music videos.

Beautiful building. Would have liked to have seen more of it but it was closed when I got there. CALL BEFORE YOU GO THERE! THE LISTED TIMES ARE WRONG! Currently it closes at 5 on weekdays instead of 6. Weekends are even shorter.

Architecture pearl in DTLA. If you are enjoying unique buildings and their architecture - this place definitely must be visited. There is several reasons - it's real gem in DTLA, and as movie lovers you will find this building in a lot of legendary movies such as "Blade Runner" (1982), "The Unfaithful" (1947), "Shockproof" (1949), "D.O.A" (1950), "I, the Jury" (1953), "Good Neigbor Sam" (1964), "Lethal Weapons 4" (1998), "Pay it forward" (2000), "What Women Want" (2000), "500 Days of Summer" (2009) and famous winner of Oscar's "The Artist" (2011). And it's just small part of history of this architecture gem 💎

Historic architecture with this quiet downtown spot. Films such as Wolf, 500 Days of Summer, and others have used this landmark for th their location. Fair warning, you can't wander beyond floor one, since their our actual businesses their. However if you are looking for great architectural photos, this is the place.

Is the Bradburry Gaudian?

Art Allen | Aug 24, 2019
Faol Just Faol | Aug 24, 2019

Though it is ornate on the interior, it is not on the outside. If I remember correctly Gaudy was a European designer mainly of cathedrals, his work could never be realized today because every one of them would cost more than Trump's wall.
