Transamerica Pyramid under construction 1972
600 Montgomery Street - Financial District.

Designed by architect William Pereira, the 48-story Pyramid is the tallest building in San Francisco. Originally designed to be 1,150 feet tall, the building was lowered to 853 feet due to protests against changing the City skyline dramatically. Its slender, pyramidal configuration allows more light to reach the street than a conventional, box-like building design.
