Blade Runner film plot: A blade runner must pursue (in Bradbury Building) and try to terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.
The Bradbury Building is the oldest commercial building remaining in the central city and one of Los Angeles’ unique treasures. Still splendid more than 100 years after its 1893 opening, its magical light-filled Victorian court, open cage elevators, marble stairs, and ornate iron railings make this one of downtown's most photographed icons.
Behind its modest, mildly Romanesque exterior lies a magical light-filled Victorian court that rises almost fifty feet with open cage elevators, marble stairs, and ornate iron railings. The identity of the building’s final architect is a subject of debate. Lewis Bradbury, a mining and real estate millionaire, commissioned Sumner Hunt to create a spectacular office building. Hunt turned in completed designs but was replaced soon after by George H. Wyman, who supervised construction.
