Los Angeles: The Bradbury Building 

i'm a HUGE blade runner fan and that building is just epic.the mixed architectural styles of art deco,art nouveau and colonial asia just make it timeless.

I'm in love with this building and yes Blade Runner movie is my all time classic thanks for the history of the Bradbury can't wait to be able to visit this landmark

I live downtown and pass by the Bradbury building every day. As you have mentioned the building is historic and beautiful many movies and TV shows have been filmed at this location. One of my favorites that you have missed was with Robert Culp and the old Si-Fi series Outer Limits, the episode was Demon with a Glass Hand (1964). This episode won the Writer's Guild award for best screenplay in 1965, the first of four awarded to Harlan Ellison.

Great history. We did a video here too but didn't touch on all this history like you guys did. I need to see more of those old films.

Thank you for this. I got a job in LA and can't wait to work in this building.

realizing that scene from _The Artist_ was shot in the same building as that scene from _(500) Days of Summer_ blew my mind. so cool. gotta visit one day.

Also one of my favorite movie the 1986 film Murphy's Law with Charles Bronson was filmed at the Bradbury building

Aside from the many movies filmed in the Bradbury Bldg. it is only fair to mention that one of the best TV episodes of The Outer Limits was filmed here called "Demon with A Glass Hand" with Robert Culp and Arlene Martel. in the early sixties.This episode beautifully demonstrates the buildings potential for action .running and jumping shots.

The movie "Good Neighbor Sam" with Jack Lemmon and Dorothy Provine had a scene located in the Bradbury Bldg. That movie is from 1964 and the building was portrayed as a sleazy hotel/brothel set in San Francisco.

I’m interested in one unseen aspect of this building: the room interiors and how close they are to the scenes in Blade Runner.

I went there many times, and took many people, to this building when I lived in Los Angeles.

Ever since I was a kid, I had always wanted to walk inside the Bradbury. Interestingly, I ended up visiting the building the same week Rutger Hauer died.

A beautiful Building - a nice overveiw of the buidling - so many movies filmed there over the years? - over in Skipton N Yorksire England they built an iro stair case very much like the Bradburys - Not as big though but it is open to the element - the wind & the rain that the Dales provides - Thanks for sharing - Steve B

"Wolf" with Jack Nicholson was shot there too.

First time i saw this building was in the movie wolf. Even as a kid i was impressed by the design.

Good Neighbor Sam with Jack Lemmon was also filmed here .

beautiful staircase

Nice building :-) Keep these coming, I love these history lessons :-)

Raymond Chandler's paradise in film noir in the 40s and 50s as the b film M was shot there as well as vanished landmarks on Bunker Hill

Very cool!

Outer Limits episode Demon With a Glass Hand

Want to visit it

I found this video after watching Justin Timberlake's "say something" video. It was just beautiful.

Outer Limits 1963 demon with a glass hand was shot there

I'm pretty sure that parts of the original film DOA were shot here.

Why can't they keep it the way it was in Blade Runner ? The mood, its all about the mood .. its meant to look rundown and shadowy ...

Umm.. most people knows the building as the "Blade Runner" building so not sure what that Harry guy is talking about at the end (and you don't have to be a Blade Runner nerd)

Can you go in the elevators still?
