I found another site which gives some more impressions of this building:

It reminds me of some buildings I have seen in Africa, especially the stairs and the iron balustrade.

Description

The Bradbury Building is an architectural landmark. The building was built in 1893 and was commissioned by Lewis Bradbury, a mining millionaire who had become a real estate developer in the later part of his life.A local architect was first hired to complete a design for the building but Bradbury ruled against constructing his plans which he did not view as adequately matching the grandeur of his vision. Bradbury then hired George Wyman, one of Hunt's draftsmen, to design the building.
