Overview

LOS ANGELES DOWNTOWN WALKING TOUR (less than 2 mls)
Downtown LA is a captivating mix of modern high-rises, architectural landmarks, and ethnic neighborhoods that make this part of Los Angeles a true gem to discover. We will meet at Union Station, a classic art deco landmark. Then we'll stroll two blocks to the birthplace of LA, the vivid Olvera Street, with the oldest standing house and a bronze plaque with the names of the city's 44 founders. We'll pass City Hall, once the tallest building in LA before the construction of skyscrapers, and continue up to the Music Center and Disney Concert Hall, the masterpieces of architect Frank Geary. Walking along Grant Avenue, we'll see other important landmarks like the MOCA and the Broad Art Museum, until we reach the Angel Flight Railway, the Bradbury Building and then the vibrant LA Central Market where the the tour will end and where you may want to stop for lunch.

Bradbury Building

The Bradbury Building is the oldest commercial building remaining in the central city and one of Los Angeles’ unique treasures. Behind its modest, mildly Romanesque exterior lies a magical light-filled Victorian court that rises almost fifty feet with open cage elevators, marble stairs, and ornate iron railings. The identity of the building’s final architect is a subject of debate. Lewis Bradbury, a mining and real estate millionaire, commissioned Sumner Hunt to create a spectacular office building. Hunt turned in completed designs but was replaced soon after by George H. Wyman, who supervised construction. (If possible we may go inside)
