Bradbury Building

I feel like Bradbury Building is kind of a surprise.  Coming from outside, the exterior seems just like its surrounding, but when you walk into the building, it is one of those things who give you the WOW and get you gobsmacked.

Fun fact bout it: The final design was done by just a young Architect Draftsman George Wyman.

Every single interior elements complement each other; the beautiful ironwork, brick walls, and terra cotta details. The skylight itself is a brilliant idea to bring natural sunshine into the building, which indirectly connects outside with inside.

Just go check it out at 304 South Broadway Street, in downtown LA. It is now the LAPD office, so make sure to be there before 6, otherwise you will not make it to the inside. And you will thank me later!
