Vintage Framed Bradbury Building Atrium Art Print With J. Golden Kimball Quote - 17.5" X 21.5"

Chairish

$295

Celebrate the striking, light-filled grandeur of downtown Los Angeles' most iconic architectural marvel with this vintage framed art print. The piece features a stunning photograph of the historic Bradbury Building's five-story interior atrium, showcasing its famous, intricate Belgian marble staircases, glazed brickwork, and magnificent hand-wrought iron "bird cage" elevators. Layered over the floor of the atrium is a whimsical, stylized typographic quote: "I may not walk the straight and narrow, but I try to cross it as often as I can." This famous, witty line is historically attributed to the beloved, colorful Western folk figure and LDS Church leader J. Golden Kimball. This piece comes with single-family provenance, inherited directly from the original owner. Adding immense collector and historical value, the back of the frame is beautifully preserved with original, hand-applied newspaper clippings from the Los Angeles Times. These articles detail the rich, "mystic, awe-inspiring" history of the 1893 Bradbury Building - including its legendary role as a filming location for classic film noir and sci-fi masterpieces like Blade Runner. A charming, handwritten archival note on the front lower-right glass border adds wonderful context, referencing the building's National Heritage status, its classic movie legacy, and its unique piston-driven elevators. Housed in its original, classic mitered warm-toned wood frame with pre-wired hanging hardware, this piece is a ready-to-hang conversation starter with a beautifully documented life.
