Lonely Planet review for Bradbury Building

This 1893 building is one of LA's undisputed architectural jewels. Its red-brick facade conceals a stunning galleried atrium with inky filigree grillwork, a rickety birdcage elevator and yellow brick walls that glisten golden in the afternoon light filtering through the tent-shaped glass roof. Location scouts love the place, whose star-turn came in the cult flick Blade Runner.

    Mediocre, but neat

    ridermike recommends this,

    I was hoping you would be able to see more, especially from the upper levels, but you're not allowed above the ground floor. I don't want to say it was "disappointing", because it was neat to see from the inside, but I would have liked to have a top-down view. Also you aren't allowed in the elevators.

    One of the nicest things about Downtown L.A.

    remelila recommends this,

    Lovers of classic architecture and classic sci-fi films alike will enjoy a tour of this beautiful building, a grand antidote to the soulless modern Californian architecture found throughout the rest of L.A.
