Bradbury Building

About

The Bradbury Building, finished in 1893, is one of the oldest commercial buildings in Downtown LA. Behind a plain front is a skylit atrium of wrought-iron railings, open cage elevators and brick walls that's been in tons of movies, Blade Runner most famously. Visitors can only see the ground-floor lobby.

Jasmine says

An 1893 cast-iron atrium,
what the future looks like in Blade Runner.

Only the ground floor and the stair landing are open:
fifteen minutes, worth the price of admission (free).

A single indoor atrium that carries the whole LA noir imagination.
