If the red brick and terra cotta facade impresses at first glance, it is thanks to its interior that the Bradbury Building became famous. At the end of a corridor, the central courtyard is surrounded by five floors, made of pink and yellow bricks, and decorated with wrought iron, Italian marble, Mexican tiles and various waxed woodworks.
