The Bradbury Building is an architectural landmark located at 304 South Broadway at West 3rd Street in downtown Los Angeles, California. Built in 1893, the building was commissioned by Los Angeles gold-mining millionaire Lewis L. Bradbury and constructed by draftsman George Wyman from the original design by Sumner Hunt. It appears in many works of fiction and has been the site of many movie and television shoots and music videos.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977, one of only four office buildings in Los Angeles to be so honored. It was also designated a landmark by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission and is the city's oldest landmarked building.HistoryLewis L. Bradbury (November 6, 1823 – July 15, 1892) was a gold-mining millionaire - he owned the Tajo mine in Sinaloa, Mexico - who became a real estate developer in the later part of his life. In 1892 he began planning to construct a five-story building at Broadway and Third Street in Los Angeles, close to the Bunker Hill neighborhood. A local architect, Sumner Hunt, was hired to design the building, and turned in a completed design, but Bradbury dismissed Hunt's plans as inadequate to the grand building he wanted. He then hired George Wyman, one of Hunt's draftsmen, to do the design. Bradbury supposedly felt that Wyman understood his own vision of the building better than Hunt did, but there is no concrete evidence that Wyman changed Hunt's design, which has raised some controversy about who should be considered to be the architect of the building.
El echo park es un parque en Los Ángeles, California, nombrado en honor al General Douglas MacArthur y que queda designado como el monumento cultural histórico número 100 de Los Ángeles. El parque está ubicado en el distrito de la ciudad de Los Ángeles.GeografíaEl parque queda dividido en dos por el Bulevar Wilshire. La sección que queda al sur del bulevar contiene un lago, y la sección que queda al norte contiene un anfiteatro, un quiosco de música y un patio de niños. El quiosco, que receientemente fue renovado ha sido historícamente un escenario reconocido de música jazz, banda grande, salsa, y conciertos de música folclórica mundial.El lago se alimenta por manantiales naturales (aunque el suelo del lago es artificial ya que se instaló durante la construcción de la Línea Roja del metro que abrió en 1993). Anteriormente, existía una fuente con piscina de reflejo en la sección norte que también era alimentada por los manantiales. La Línea Roja del metro corre por debajo del Parque Macarthur y queda una estación ubicada en el parque (la estación Westlake/Macarthur Park).
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles is a contemporary art museum with three locations in greater Los Angeles, California. The main branch is located on Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles, near Walt Disney Concert Hall. MOCA's original space, initially intended as a "temporary" exhibit space while the main facility was built, is now known as the Geffen Contemporary, in the Little Tokyo district of downtown Los Angeles. The Pacific Design Center facility is in West Hollywood.The museum's exhibits consist primarily of American and European contemporary art created after 1940. Since the museum's inception, MOCA's programming has been defined by its multi-disciplinary approach to contemporary art.FoundingIn a 1979 political fund raising event at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, Councilman Joel Wachs, and local philanthropist Marcia Simon Weisman happened to be seated at the same table. Throughout the evening, Weisman passionately discussed the city's need for a contemporary art museum. In the following weeks, the Mayor's Museum Advisory Committee was organized. The committee, led by William A. Norris, set about creating a museum from scratch, including locating funds, trustees, directors, curators, a gallery, and most importantly an art collection. That same year, Weisman and five other key local collectors signed an agreement whereby they would pledge chunks of their private collections, worth up to $6 million, "to create a museum of standing and repute."
