This book is a tribute to not only the building's namesake and architect, but to Ira Yellin, the visionary developer who recognized the power of the building to change the perception of our older buildings from an earlier era. In addition to the Bradbury, Yellin purchased a cluster of key properties at the intersection of 3rd and Broadway (Grand Central Market with the offices above and the Million Dollar Theater). He engaged preservation architect, Brenda Levin, to sensitively restore them. The Bradbury Building is on the National Register Historic Places and is downtown Los Angeles' crown jewel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellin's vision was that these \"keystone\" properties at the foot of \"new\" downtown - the modern office towers up on Bunker Hill - could reconnect downtown and its diverse citizenry via the revitalized Bradbury as the shining example. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe restoration of this building - perhaps the most beautiful - but certainly the most magical - marked the beginning of the re-imagining and revitalization of downtown Los Angeles in the 1990's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 x 8.5 x 11 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751447691552,"sku":"9781733071918","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0e9d0eda9f84cccd231b1313dc0458e9.webp?v=1779973547","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-bradbury-building-1893-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
