Transamerica Building, San Francisco, CA

My husband and I were scouting out new digs in the bay area. I wanted to explore the Jackson Square area of San Francisco for the historic resonance, the proximity to the bay, the weather and there was a market within walking distance! We found an amazing residence quite out of the price range we were entertaining, but this was the view when you walked out onto the street. Spectacular.

I love the Transamerica Building. It is old and new at the same time. It harkens back to Egyptian pyramids, the eye of Odin and forwards to space travel. It has great aspirations, and a clarity. Every time we drive into the city it is the first building I look for…then I know we have arrived. I am sure I am not alone in that behavior.
