Featured ArticleThe Bradbury Building is an architectural landmark in Los Angeles, California, in the United States and was used extensively as a setting for the film Blade Runner. The building was built in 1893. The building was commissioned by Lewis Bradbury (after whom it is named), a mining millionaire who had become a real estate developer in the later part of his life. His plan (in 1892) was to have a five story building constructed at Third and Broadway Streets in Los Angeles, close to the Bunker Hill neighborhood. A local architect, Sumner Hunt, was first hired to complete a design for the building but Bradbury ruled against constructing his plans which he did not view as adequately matching the grandeur of his vision. Bradbury then hired George Wyman one of Hunt's draftsmen, to design the building. Wyman was especially influenced in the construction of the building by Edward Bellamy's book Looking Backward (published in 1887) which described a Utopian society in the year 2000. |
