This past weekend I was able to get up close and personal with the oldest remaining commercial building in Los Angeles. The Bradbury Building is similar to an Italian Renaissance facade exposing its brown rich exterior. As I entered the doors, I was mesmerized by the eye-catching interior that forces you to look upward and appreciate the beauty of the sky light from above. The natural light allows you to see the polished wood along with its cast iron staircase and Italian marble floors giving you the feeling of a Parisian courtyard or foyer. In the film, 500 Days of Summer, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) attends a job interview inside the Bradbury Building. This scene perfectly depicts the authenticity of the building and the details of the famous cast iron staircase. The history and popularity of the Bradbury building has definitely become a tourist attraction for many & for me…it’s just another way to get closer to JGL.
