The Bradbury Building

This National Historic Landmark, built in 1893 and designed by George Wyman, is Los Angeles's oldest commercial building and one of the city's most revered architectural achievements. Capped by a magical five-story skylight, Bradbury's courtyard combines glazed brick, Mexican tile, rich Belgian marble, handsome oak paneling, and lacelike wrought-iron railings -- it's one of the great interior spaces of the 19th century. The glass-topped atrium is often used as a movie and TV set; you've seen it in Chinatown and Blade Runner.

304 S. Broadway.Phone: 213/626-1893.Open: Mon-Fri 9am-6pm; Sat-Sun 9am-5pm.
