The Bradbury Building
The Bradbury Building is at Third Street and Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles. It’s a block for the original location of Angels Flight at 3rd and Hill Streets. It was built by Lewis Bradbury, who made his fortune initially in the gold mining business and later as a real estate developer, as a monument to his memory. Planing and construction of the building began in 1892 and was completed in 1894(over a year after Bradbuy’s death) at a cost of $500,000.
The building is open to the public during regular business hours, but access is limited to the first floor and the first landing on the stairs since the building’s current primary tenant is LAPD’s Internal Affairs Division.
Some pictures were taken with my fisheye lens which is probably the best way to capture the entire building, but does lead to some distortion such as walls that bend.
