Bradbury Building

The Bradbury Building is one of the coolest spots in downtown L.A, it’s over 130 years old and still looks amazing. We took some amazing photos here, the architecture is stunning, old iron railings, open elevators, and tons of natural light coming from the glass ceiling, no wonder its been part of many movies including Blade Runner and 500 days of summer. You can walk into the main lobby area for free, but visitors aren’t allowed past the first floor, Still, the view from the ground level is beautiful It’s right across from Grand Central Market, so you can grab food or coffee before or after. Even if you’re not an architecture lover this place is worth the visit.

Blade Runner is a favor film of mine and when give me chance I had to see the Bradbury Build. Classic and beautiful. Small than expected but fantastic. You must enter on the Broadway side. You can only see the first floor but that was fine. Piece of Hollywood history.

The Bradbury Bldg. (est 1893) is a popular architectural landmark in DTLA. It has one of a kind Filigree Elevators; features are iconic with an open-cage "birdcage" elevators with ornate wrought-iron grillwork, surrounded by a five-story skylit atrium, marble stairs, and walkways, creating a famous Victorian-era architectural marvel that's been featured in films like Blade Runner and remains a beloved LA landmark. This reminds me of dear ol England. It is a remarkable iron work and I like the Italian marble, Mexican tile, decorative and polished wood, capped by a skylight that allows the court to be flooded with natural rather than artificial light, creating ever-changing shadows and accents during the day. Overal, it's a great architectural bldg perfect for movie/photoshoots.

This is a very beautiful building, but unfortunately, people cannot see its full extent, and even taking photos with camera is prohibited. Visitors can only access a small area on the first floor. I don't think it's worth making a special trip to see it.

One of LA’s landmarks, a couple of movies were filmed here. A couple of year ago tourists were able to go upstairs but nowadays you can only take a look from the first floor and visit a small art gallery in the back. Either way, it’s worth the visit if you’re nearby.

Understated building on the outside but once you enter, be prepared to be blown away by the intricate interior. The elevators are also somewhat of an heritage. Gotta visit in person, the pictures won't do it full justice as you have to soak it up in 360.

a historic, light-filled Victorian-era commercial building in Downtown Los Angeles, known for its magical interior with a central court, open cage elevators, marble stairs, and ornate iron railings, all capped by a skylight. Commissioned by mining tycoon Louis Bradbury and designed by George Wyman, it is LA's oldest remaining commercial building and a beloved icon that has appeared in films like Blade Runner and The Artist.

There were photographs and paintings on display downstairs in the back and a trumpet player outside. Great visit and conversation there.

If you are not into architecture skip the Bradbury Building. But if you love old and stunning buildings this is a must stop. It has the coolest elevators and for me that is great. The building was built by an older and very rich man who wanted this to be his legacy. He hired an architect who just did not get what he had in mind and ended up with a draftsman to do the design and have it built. Blade Runner was filmed here and if you liked the building it, you will be in heaven. You can just imagine scenes from the great film as you walk around. They say the area is revitalized. Well, not so much. Don't go walking the streets at night unless you are in a pack. Stay in the building. They even have a bar. The bar has coffee and a full bar. There is also rental space. I don't know anything about that. I just love to walk the same area where Blade Runner was filmed.

Any 500 Days of Summer fans out there? This was the first time that I saw this incredible building that was featured in this movie. I knew I must come and visit someday and that day finally came in March 2025. This building is truly an architectural landmark in Los Angeles, California. It was built in 1893 and features five floors of office space. The open skylit atrium lets in the light that really adds to the beauty of the building. I personally enjoyed the ironwork present in the stairways, elevators, and atrium. The original mail box slot is still in tact. The tile floor is original and is just gorgeous. The marble staircase is mesmerizing and also original. It is listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, U.S. National Historic Landmark, U.S. Historic district contributing property and L.A. Historic-Cultural Monument No. 6. It is named after the gold mining millionaire Lewis Bradbury. He hired a young architect named George Wyman to design and construct the building. Lewis Bradbury died before it was completed. Unfortunately, you are only allowed to view the building from the first floor, as the offices upstairs are all occupied. The Wyman Bar is located on the second floor and serves coffee and lunch drinks as well as booze and wine in the evening. This bar opened in 2021 and was originally open to the public. It has changed to a private social club for members only now. It is part of NeueHouse - Tech entrepreneurs. The building has been featured in quite a few productions such as Bladerunner, 500 Days of Summer, The Artist, Justin Timberlake video - Say Something and Janet Jackson video - Rhythm Nation, Bosch and Pushing Daisies. You can truly feel the history that oozes from every inch of this stunning masterpiece and I am so happy that I finally was able to visit. I highly recommend a stop here should you find yourself in downtown Los Angeles. Parking is on the street and The Bradbury Building is located across the street from Grand Central Market.

This famous building has been in many movies over the years. The one that always stands out to me is the original "Blade Runner" movie starring Harrison Ford. That movie highlighted both the architecture and lighting of the inside of the Bradbury Building. Ever since seeing the movie, I made it a point to come check this place out someday. Now whenever I am in Los Angeles and grabbing a bite at Grand Central Market, I make time to walk by the Million Dollar Theater, Angels Flight Railway and the Bradbury Building. They are all historic sites in L.A. that are all within walking distance of each other. The Bradbury Building is an amazing piece of architecture. Built in the late 1800's, this five-story office building is known for its skylit atrium. It is named for 19th century millionaire Lewis L. Bradbury, Sr. I have done many photoshoots here at different times of the day. Security is very tight and they only allow you to stand in the narrow lobby. The open cage elevators and stairway are blocked off. What makes the Bradbury Building so famous is the natural light that shines into the entryway from the arch windows above. I personally love the dark iron railings and the polished brown wood on the stairways. The lighting really makes for some great photos. The Bradbury Building is a popular tourist attraction. It can get a little crowded at times in the lobby area because of the photographers and walking tours that come through here. I highly recommend checking this place out if you have a few minutes to spare.

Beautiful architecture which is across the street from Grand central market. We went on NYE and it was decorated with Christmas tree and other decoration. We took pics on the lobby floor. Highly recommended to check it out!

Such a beautiful building!!! If you ever have the opportunity to check it out, please do! It's the oldest commercially used structure in downtown LA

The Bradbury Building isn't just an office building -- it's a living, breathing relic of old Los Angeles, the kind of place that makes you wonder why we ever started covering brick with drywall and glass. Built in 1893, it was the brainchild of Lewis L. Bradbury, a gold-mining millionaire with an ego to match his fortune. He hired George Wyman -- a man who, incredibly, had no formal architectural degree -- to design it after a dream convinced him he was the right choice. Somehow, that gamble gave us one of the most stunning pieces of architecture in the city. Step inside and it's like walking into a Victorian fever dream. Wrought-iron railings twist and curl like something out of an artist's hallucination. Marble stairs float upward under a vast glass ceiling that floods the atrium with light. You half-expect to see men in bowler hats and suspenders carrying ledgers under their arms. And yet, it's still a working office building, buzzing quietly with the hum of modern Los Angeles life. If it looks familiar, that's because it is. The Bradbury has been immortalized in films like Blade Runner -- Ridley Scott turned it into a dystopian playground for Harrison Ford's hunt through a neon-soaked future. It also shows up in Wolf with Jack Nicholson, 500 Days of Summer, and more movies than most buildings could ever dream of. Hollywood keeps coming back because, frankly, nothing else looks like this. The best part? Unlike so many so-called "landmarks," the Bradbury still feels alive. It's not just preserved; it's used, respected, and loved. Standing in that atrium, sunlight spilling through the glass ceiling, you feel connected to a Los Angeles that existed before freeways, before sprawl, before the city got tangled in its own mythology. Five stars. Not just a landmark, but a reminder that Los Angeles wasn't always about chasing what's next -- sometimes, we got it right the first time. Bring a camera, bring your curiosity, and if you love movies, architecture, or just beautiful old things, this is one of the city's crown jewels.

I'll keep this nice and short, just like your visit to this building. When you walk in you are immediately inside a beautiful presentation of craftsman architecture in every space you see. Wrought iron railing is used with geometrically thought out staircases, using clean lines to draw your attention. The atrium above gives LA skies their very own guest appearance into this historic building and everywhere you look you can see this was once an opulent palace, one befitting of old Los Angeles. Now, what to know that makes this such a short visit: - you can only stay in the lobby of the first floor - no pictures on professional camera are allowed - the space is vast in height but small in ground work So if you're in the area visiting the Broad, eating at Grand Central Market, or simply walking around The Bradbury Building is a kind, quiet space to enjoy away from the business of the city.

Gorgeous and meticulously built building. Definitely worth a visit when you go to this area. The people running the place are super nice and know a lot about the building. The elevators use posts, which is rare to see and every part of the place was thoroughly made to be meaningful. Justin Timberlake with "Say Something" and other artist film here, so it's fun to watch the video and then look at this place. Gave the place less stars due to them not allowing you to go up the stairs anymore. But you can still get to look from the first floor to give yourself a quick tour.

Disappointing. You can only gain access to the first floor. Yes, the view from the first floor of the upper levels is really cool, but didn't make it worthwhile.

A beautiful and iconic building with stunning architecture and intricate details. I enjoyed walking through and taking in the historic atmosphere, even though the visit itself is fairly brief.

Truly a magical place. I used to work in a design firm on the third floor. Taking the elevator up everyday was such a dream. The droves of tourists and influencers coming here just to take pictures in the lobby are a bit annoying. But it is quite an awe inspiring place.

Yes..we visited this building because of 500 Days of Summer. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. Worth checking out if you're in the area. It's free and open to the public.

It's a beautiful building with unique architecture, love to see the details on the inside, there's AC, so it's a good place to stop for awhile when you visiting DTLA. There's a guard to keep safe the place, it's pretty in every corner. Great place to take photos.

My friend and I briefly visited the Bradbury Building after eating at Maccheroni Republic on the same block. I've passed by during work breaks for months without knowing that it stands as an architectural landmark. Its historic exterior encloses a beautifully skylit atrium with intricately ornate staircases. Holiday decorations along with big-leafed plants make the interior a pretty sight to see. We could access the lobby only per the signs and security guard; however, gazing briefly inside allowed for an intriguing addition to our day trip. For tours of Historic Downtown, I recommend checking out the Los Angeles Conservancy's "walking tours" webpage.   Travel note: For this brief activity, I recommend taking transit to arrive here and explore other parts of Downtown. People can take Metro lines 28 and 33 to the Spring/3rd stop. Metro lines 30, 45, 4, and 40 arrive at the Broadway/3rd stop. Riders on the Metro A/E (Regional Connector) line can arrive at the Historic Broadway Station just one block away. People without a physical TAP (Transit Access Pass) card can use their smartphone via the TAP app for contactless fare payment. This time, my friend and I used a Metrolink pass which allowed us unlimited free rides on Metro Rail for the whole day.

We just finished lunch at a nearby restaurant and we were on our way to Blue Bottle to get some coffee. As we were strolling along, I happened to look to my right and I saw one of those historical signs on the frontage of this unassuming building. I took a quick glance at the sign and I discovered we were at the Bradbury Building!! I've always wanted to see the interior of this building so I finally took the opportunity. There were several people inside on the first level admiring the interior of the building. You are not allowed to go up the stairs (bummer). The elevator isn't in use neither. LOVE the skylight. There was a security guard watching all of us (probably to make sure that we don't sneak up the stairs). Definitely a must see if you like seeing stuff like this.

Such a pretty building. I'd love it if they'd offer weekend access to the elevator. Overall, it was a pleasant visit. The security was friendly and it felt nice to freely walk the bottom floor to take phone photos of the beautiful iron work. Plus, you can drop in the Blue bottle cafe for a pastry and coffee.

Stunning. Simply stunning, stunning, stunning architecture. When this building was built many, many years ago, this was their vision of what architecture will look like in the year 2000. Such a beauty! On this visit, I was only in the lobby area. Would love to come back and visit for longer, to explore more.

Arguably the most beautiful building in Los Angeles. Made with love and care by an obsessive man who spared no expense.

A very cool-looking historical building in downtown L.A.; in fact, it was designated a National Historical Landmark. For the right reasons, for its stunning architecture. A scene from "Blade Runner" was filmed there decades ago. What I don't like is the guards don't allow much photography. As long as it's from your phone? Okay, fair enough. No flash. No video. Lame. But oh well, at least we can still go inside briefly.

The building is across from Grand Central Market and totally worth a visit if you are in the area. Inside this five-story building, built in 1893, the sky lit atrium reveals impressive staircases ornamented with ironwork. Scenes from various movies were shot there, including Blade Runner.

CURRENTLY CLOSED. I stopped by today and there was a sign on the door. Bummer. You can peek through the door and see some of the gorgeous interior. I'm somewhat confused as to who manages this building. The website linked here, as well as the LA Conservancy website, don't mention anything about the closure. It would be helpful to have an updated website to notify people, especially since there is no free parking in this area.

Review based on 9am Saturday- First, plan to be there by 10am since contrary to most posted stuff, that's when they open. Safe and clean on the inside but the guard will not appreciate you having a real camera but a high end smartphone is tolerated for photos. On Saturday, you can't ride the elevators but it still is beautiful on the inside. I'd recommend parking at Grand Central Market structure across street.

Iconic mural in Downtown LA of the legendary actor Anthony Quinn ready to start his famous Zorba dance right off Broadway. This is the first mural I have seen in DTLA more than 15 years ago. It always got my attention and is part of the local landscape for so long now. The artist who created it is name Eloy Torrez and the mural was restored in recent years. This is a bit of Latino history and a major part of LA's history. If you visit the area, step on the 3rd street and you'll see it. It might get your attention anyways. If you tour DTLA, put it on your list. Anthony Quinn's zest for life will stay with you! Opa!

A beautifully kept historic place - a must see to appreciate the old style of vision in architecture - again, beautiful.

Have you ever been in this building? Imagine it was built in 1893! And the idea was being futuristic. It still is because how they used the lights, ceiling, you will feel in somehow in the future. The visit is free. Many movies and shows are shoot there. Did you watch Bosh? It is really cool to be a tourist in your city. Have fun! After you can go to eat in Central Market.

You can google the history of this place. It's old Los Angeles through and through. Not sensational from the outside but the open interior is simply beautiful. Visitors only get to walk the lobby but it's fun if you are nearby.

This was a truly fantastic experience. From Neo Tokyo to 2019 Los Angeles, this place is the LAST WORD in cyberpunk. I'm glad I found it, right where X marks the spot.

Pre-covid, I went here with my friend a few years ago and was able to go past the security guard stationed at the entrance since tourists aren't allowed and it's still a working office building. It's located across the street facing Grand Central Market and Million Dollar Theater, Angel's Flight is close-by too. Beautiful place, the skylit staircases, the open bird-cage elevators, and the ornate cast iron work are still kept immaculate. The place is known to be in featured several movies like Blade Runner and music videos like Justin Timberlake's song Say Something.

If you're into architecture or a movie buff, this is a must see! Best of all, it's free to visit and it's even open on weekends, despite being an office building. This building has been featured in numerous movies including Blade runner. There's a plaque inside that discusses its rich history. It won't take you long to view as the public space you're allowed to access is just the lobby, and up to the first landing, but it's absolutely worth popping into to. This is particularly great to visit if you're in Downtown LA. You can take a stroll like us and visit the Walt Disney Concert Hall, then go next door and pick up free tickets to The Broad (and get your timed ticket to the infinity room exhibit), then go eat at Grand Central Market. Afterwards, go to the Bradbury building which is located very near! Then you can stroll back up the hill to visit The Broad (hopefully it's when your timed admission for the infinity room is) for a very cheap afternoon!

Incredible architecture just infront of the grand central market. Loved the structure. Wonder how it was made. Jealous of tenants staying there. Blade runner movie scenes were shot here and for a reason since it looks awesome.

Absolutely stunning building and experience. Years ago, after seeing "500 Days of Summer" (over and over again), I tried to figure out where they filmed the ending (and another scene from earlier in the movie). Little did I know that the gorgeous setting was a (somewhat) publicly accessible building in DTLA. We went on a random Saturday and were lucky enough to get there before 2pm, when the building closes to the public. It's difficult to describe what an exacting and time-transporting piece of architecture the Bradbury is. To say that buildings (much less anything else) aren't made like this anymore would be an understatement; every brick, cornice and piece of wrought iron was thoughtfully designed and placed. The only downside was that we couldn't access more of the building; only the lobby is open to the public, though there are tours during the week.

Beautiful building. They don't make them like these anymore is able to sneak in and get a few photos. This place really isn't open to the public. There's private businesses in there but I'm a see if you can sneak in like I did.

Landmark in LA history! Shame it is usually closed to public but we were lucky enough to go inside for the MAUM market

What a beautiful example of historic old building. Built in 1893 the Bradbury Building has all the beautiful materials and craftsmanship that you just don't find these days. In the area are new condos of glass being built up to the sky, but nothing as special as this building with it's glass atrium. I spoke to a tenant and he said architecture firms, design companies, and various nonprofits call the Bradbury Building home. In front of the the DTLA Grand Central Market and connected to a Blue Bottle coffee shop, you won't find a better spot to spend a little time in DTLA.

Bradbury Building is a historical landmark building. Became an instant superstar when it was one of location shoots of the movie: Bladerunner with: Harrison Ford and Darryl Hannah, years ago, available on demand vidi....but you already knew that. Today, this building is still holding up and leases it's space/offices upstairs to many businesses, one of which is the corporate office of GCM(grand central market), among others. The ground floor spaces on each end leases to Subway on the right and Blue Bottle coffee on the left separated by a nice hallway with soaring columns. Inside the full restored exposed brick interior with the not currently operating antique iron elevator appears well preserved and maintained. Worth a visit and I recommend.

Cool example of Old L.A. architecture. Too bad you can only access the ground floor. Lighting isn't the best for snapping shots with a regular iPhone. If you have more photographic knowledge I'm sure you could get better shots with a DSLR regardless of the lighting limitations. What little I was able to access was neat, but don't think it was worth the drive all the way from the 626 to DTLA. Luckily, it's right across from Grand Central Market so we grabbed some lunch after the photo shoot.

Utter let down Maybe I'm not Hollywood enough nor aware of the buildings symbolism but it was pretty boring. The only saving grace was its proximity to the LA grand central market. I def treated myself to a pupusa and hot chocolate after this. The building is aesthetically pleasing on the inside but pretty boring and industrial looking from the Outside. It's free to walk in- so I guess that's a plus. BUT you have to remain on the forest level - all other floors are blocked off So you're awkwardly take photos with 16 others and then you kinda move on with your life as if nothing happened in the last 5 mins. PS All my Bay Area peeps- blue bottle coffee is right next door !

Do you like ghost stories? On this Halloween 2017? Not all stories are about malevolent spirits, in fact, this story is quite the opposite. Is it true? Who knows for sure, but urban legend or not, the original inspiration for the Bradbury Building stems from communication with the 'other side'. In the late 19th century (the building was completed in 1893) a wealthy businessman named Bradbury asked George Wyman, an acquaintance with no prior experience with architecture, let alone design, to draft a floor plan for an elaborate building during an economic upswing. Flattered, but painfully aware of his limitations, George was also afraid to spurn a potential benefactor. Worried, he allegedly used a Ouija board (or perhaps a good old seance) to contact the spirit of his dead brother to seek advice. In ghostly form George's brother cajoled him to undertake the project. Moreover, the spirit promised him great success with the task. Now inspired, George remembered imagery described in the 1887 science fiction novel, Looking Backward, by Edward Bellamy, and voila, the fantastic mix of marble, concrete and skillfully wrought iron yielded LA's oldest remaining building. An intricate web of cascading staircases and elevators, today visitors can marvel at the elaborate decadence worthy of the former propieter. Do visit and take landscapish pictures. While not all areas can be accessed, there are still multiple perspectives available to the creative photographer (recommend 16-24mm lenses).

Beautiful. We went on a Saturday so could only look up at the ornate metalwork. A must for all Bladerunner fans. Free. The security guard obliged us and took photos of us. A small part of Historic LA - circa 1893. What a great place to have an office.

Overrated - can't really see much from the ground floor which is cramped and the only section open to the public. Oddly, can't take photographs with an actual camera. If you're already in the area (Central Market is right across the street) it's probably worth dropping in, but not worth going out of your way.

The penultimate stop on our DTLA tour was to the Bradbury building. I wanted to see it specifically because it was a big part of the movie Blade Runner, and I am fan of that film. The building itself was really impressive. The ornate railings, tile floor, and wood accents all came together to give the building a ton of character. You can't go higher than the first floor landing, but man is it impressive.

We visited this building during a walking tour but anyone can enter (for free) and check it out. I believe the building houses condos so, obviously, you want to be respectful of the tenants. It is much smaller than you might think but, architecturally, it's very cool. There are lots of interesting details (floor tiles, lighting, doors) aside from the interior atrium which is the main attraction, of course. Unless you are an architectural geek, it may not be worth the effort just to come here. However, if you are nearby, or perhaps at the Grand Central Market, it is well worth a visit. I will post the same exact photos everyone else does so that someone actually reads this review.

I've had the Bradbury Building bookmarked for years and we finally got to stop in yesterday. This is one of those historic places in Downtown L.A. that has been featured in several films over the years, namely "Blade Runner." There's even an informational plaque about it on one of the walls in the lobby. However, I don't remember the Bradbury from that movie. I remember it from "500 Days of Summer," one of my favorite films starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. Anyhoooo, the Bradbury Building is a National Historic Landmark Building and you can feel how special it is when you enter. The patterned tile floor, the wrought-iron elevators, and the gorgeous skylight make you realize why this site is a treasure. While it's free to see, visitors can only go as far as the first floor landing, but it is still a worthwhile trip to make and I'm happy that we finally did.

I've passed by the Bradbury Building so many times (either heading to the Grand Central Market [GCM] for lunch or to Blue Bottle Coffee [for a coffee break], and I finally got a chance to see the inside! After I got my Cascara Fizz from Blue Bottle Coffee, I rounded the corner to get on 3rd Street and popped into the Bradbury Building for a peek inside. Admission is FREE! Mondays - Fridays: 9am - 6pm Saturdays and Sundays: 9am - 5pm. Historical Background: The Bradbury Building is one of the oldest commercial buildings left in DTLA. In 1892, Lewis L. Bradbury (Gold Mining Millionaire) began constructing this five-story structure. The building opened in 1893 and was later completed in 1894. Then, in 1977, it became a National Historical Landmark. Since then, visitors from all over the world have come to visit this stunning piece of architecture. The interior is gorgeous! On the outside, you wouldn't think much of it. However, once you're inside, the ooohs, ahhhs, wows, and omgs will be coming out of your mouth, hehe! Of course, the stairways are mesmerizing and the wrought-iron, birdcage elevator is fabulous! You rarely see those anywhere, anymore. Bummer, the public is not allowed to the ride the elevator. The skylights above showcase the stairways and interior beautifully. All in all, a commanding presence when you walk inside. During Christmas, the Bradbury Building decorates inside. I hope to come back here when Christmas time rolls around. It's so pretty! The Bradbury Building has been featured in many movies, but I best remembered it in Blade Runner and 500 Days of Summer. Side Note: You can also visit the infamous 500 Days of Summer bench over at the Vista Hermosa National Park in Los Angeles - about a 15mins drive from the Bradbury Building). Security: You're only able to explore the first floor and the first flight of stairs on the staircase. Security is tight and protective there! However, if you happen to know someone who works in the offices upstairs or in the LAPD's Internal Affairs, then you'll have a better view and access. Overall, I recommend checking out the Bradbury Building. It's a piece of DTLA history that is still standing strong. Afterwards, you can head over to Blue Bottle Coffee or GCM.

Our tour guide said a Ouija board told Bradbury to do build it. It's the only positive thing I've ever heard rumors of coming from a Ouija board. It's gracious that the owners allow viewers to walk through and see the splendor.

Visiting the Bradbury Building is an absolute must if you are in Los Angeles. One of our city's most stunning and gorgeous architectural treasures, it's also earned its place as one of the Most Beautiful Shooting Locations for Hollywood (think Blade Runner). You must walk in, look up, and take pictures. Hints: 1.) Take the good camera. 2.) Find out which businesses are on the top floors and make an appointment to visit one of them. Otherwise, you'll be banished to the ground floor only. 3.) Watch Blade Runner and The Artist again before you go. 4.) Free. 5.) Make it Skylight Appreciation Day. Go to Spring for lunch or dinner afterward.

Amazing architecture and definitely worth a stop in if you are in the area. Directly across from the LA Central Market, you can walk into the first floor only and look at the amazing interior as seen in the movie "Blade Runner". Come in take a selfie, and spend a few moments looking at the beautiful architecture and then head over to the Central Market and get your grub on.
