Description:
|
DOWNTOWN. Built by silver mining millionaire Lewis Bradbury in 1893, this five-story building was designed as "futuristic," and it was featured in the 1946 "D.O.A." and 1982's "Blade Runner." Today it serves as an office building, but the beautiful, ornate wrought-iron railings, oak paneling, glazed and unglazed brick walls, marble and tile floors, two open-cage elevators, and a crowning atrium with a skylight remain as a testament to architect George Wyman's work. The lobby level is open to visitors. Tours of the upper levels are available by appointment. |

| | Probably the most amazing office building in the world, it is like no other. Built at a time (the 1890s) when electric lighting was in its infancy, the interior atrium of the building is entirely lit by sunlight channeled from the roof! It was designed back then to look like a building would look in the year 2000, as inspired by a science fiction book of the era. The scene of many movies. Don't miss this one, admission is free! |
