Blade Runner film location: Bradbury Building

Bradbury Building, 304 South Broadway, Downtown Los Angeles.

The lobby of the Bradbury became the waterlogged home of toymaker Sebastian, where Deckard (Harrison Ford) is menaced by androids and has the final showdown with Batty.

Outside, it’s an unremarkable red-brick block, but the central courtyard, illuminated by skylights (through which the illuminated blimp is seen in the movie), is a fantasy of wrought-iron grillwork, marble and brickwork surrounding open-cage elevators.
It was a bit decrepit when Blade Runner was filmed, but it’s since been lovingly restored and now houses offices. The ground floor is open to the public.

The Bradbury can also be seen in 1949 Douglas Sirk drama Shockproof; Frank Tashlin’s Richard Harris-Doris Day comedy thriller Caprice (as ‘Paris’); Murder in the First, with Christian Slater (as ‘San Francisco’); Mike Nichols’ Wolf , with Jack Nicholson turning into a werewolf, (as ‘New York’) and, finally, as Los Angeles in both (500) Days Of Summer (it’s the office building where Tom finally attends a job interview) and The Artist (the staircase where George and Peppy encounter each other).
