#275: Bradbury Building (Downtown)

December 25, 2025
The Bradbury Building is the oldest commercial building in Los Angeles, and yet it still feels like a vision of the future. Its interior is music as much as it is architecture, with endless rhythms of balconies and balustrades, archways and staircases, composing and re-composing themselves as your eye moves around the atrium. If you haven't gazed up at the Bradbury's glass canopy, you haven't lived.
