We also went to architectural landmark Bradbury Building located at 304 South Broadway at West 3rd Street.  The building was commissioned by Los Angeles gold-mining millionaire Lewis L. Bradbury and constructed by draftsman George Wyman from the original design by Sumner Hunt.  It appears in many works of fiction and has been the site of many movie like Blade Runner and television shoots and music videos.  Part of Janet Jackson‘s 1989 film short Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 was shoot there as well.Â

In 1984, downtown visionary Ira Yellin, a successful developer with an academic interest in urban planning and historical preservation, bought Grand Central Market and adjacent properties including the Million Dollar Theater, as well as the landmark Bradbury Building across the street.
