AN ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENT
The Bradbury Building is known for its extraordinary skylit atrium of wrought iron walkways, marble stairs and “birdcage” elevators.
The ill and aging gold-mining millionaire Lewis Bradbury wanted to create one last building, a living legacy to perpetuate his name. After approaching a well-known architect whose plans proved to be disappointing, Bradbury engaged 32-year-old George Wyman, a draftsman for the underwhelming architect.
Wyman was hesitant to accept the project, but one fateful evening, Wyman’s deceased brother Mark allegedly communicated, “Take Bradbury Building. It will make you famous,” through a Ouija board. With this assurance from the spiritual world, the Bradbury-Wyman partnership began.

One of downtown’s most photographed icons, the singular, sun drenched Victorian court features grand marble staircases, polished wood, and glazed brick crowned by an extraordinary skylit atrium.
Flooded with natural light, The Bradbury Building’s iconic atrium is a living window on the landmark’s signature ironwork, marble stairs and birdcage elevators–an incomparable atmosphere for gathering and connecting.
The Bradbury Building has been thoughtfully reimagined as a suite of creative spaces, embodying the futuristic vision of its patron with modern glass offices and design-forward common spaces juxtaposed against original hardwood and exposed brick.
