Another building, but where is it and what is its purpose?

Well, actually the first three floors are. C&A is an International chain of clothing stores founded in 1841 by Clemens and August Brenninkmeijer, Dutch textile merchants.

The two structures on the left and right are actually lifts.

In answer to Trojan...
The Bradbury Building is an architectural landmark in downtown Los Angeles, California. Built in 1893, the building was commissioned by LA mining millionaire Lewis L. Bradbury and designed by local draftsman George Wyman.
It is located at 304 South Broadway and 3rd Street, and has been the site of many movie and television shoots, rock videos, and works of fiction.

I hope that's right!
