Bradbury building-Sunday Hours

Anyone know what hours on a Sunday that we can walk into the lobby of the Bradbury Building?



Bradbury building-Sunday Hours


I don%26#39;t know what the exact hours are. I live nearby and visit on occasion and often bring visitors here. I%26#39;ve never had a problem accessing the lobby during the daytime. I%26#39;d assume normal business hours like 9-5. Definitely worth visiting. It is one of those things which sticks in the mind. Check out the Angels Walk stanchion just outside the building.





By the by, since you%26#39;re here, step across the street to the Grand Central Market. Have some excellent pupusas. I recommend the revueltas (sic?). The market is also a great place to park. Entrance is off Third between Broadway %26amp; Hill. There is a lovely patio on the Hill Street side where you can enjoy your pupusas.

This site says the hours at 9 to 5 on Sunday.




When i went the security guy was really nice and took us up and down on the elevator inside the building. Just ask, maybe they will give you a ride aswell




Great information, thanks. We are doing a whole architecture walking tour that morning. We thought Sunday would be a good day to get parking and a lot less people. The only thing I was worried about was not being able to get into the Library until 1 pm. I don%26#39;t think it opens until 1 pm on Sundays. We may need to hit it the latter part of the day. We will definately be visiting the Grand Central market. We%26#39;ve never had pupusas, we will give them a try. We also wanted to have lunch in Little Tokoyo.




Some resources you may not be aware of.





1) LA Conservancy offers guided and self-guided walking tours in the downtown and other areas. Hit their website. They have many of these and they are typically very good.



2) Red Line Tours, which has an office in the Bradbury, also offers walking tours.



3) There is a program called Angels Walk. Throughout downtown, there are stanchions with information about the location. For instance, there is one in front of the Bradbury and another in front of Grand Central Market. The city is constantly adding new ones. They link together to form distinct walking tours. Mysteriously, the program doesn%26#39;t have a web presence(!?!). You may find brochures at local tourist information offices.





Downtown L.A. is a treasure trove of architecture, old and new. If they are not on your list, the following buildings should be on your list.





1) Central Library @ Fifth %26amp; Flower. Check out the surrounding grounds and explore the interior. Amazing building.



2) Disney Hall @ Grand %26amp; First. Check out the park on the roof. There%26#39;s a well-hidden elevator off of First.



3) Cathedral @ Grand %26amp; Temple. Nice public plaza and oodles of public art. Decent cafe, too. Convenient parking for Disney Hall.



4) City Hall @ Spring %26amp; First. Beautifully restored. There is an observation deck on the 28th floor open to the public.



5) Caltrans Building @ Los Angeles %26amp; First. Can%26#39;t remember the architect, but he just won the Pritzken.



6) Union Station @ Los Angeles %26amp; Alameda. Last of the great train station. Park and explore. There%26#39;s a Red/Purple Line and Gold Line Station here, too.





HTH.




All those are on our list. My son is a 4th year architecture student and we have a guide book and so we are going to do the walking tour on our own.





I wasn%26#39;t aware of the stanchions, so we%26#39;ll be on the look out for them.
