This is my favorite style of architecture. I only really came to appreciate it after seeing 33 Thomas Street in NYC in person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street

If you’re ever in NYC, I highly recommend going to check it out.



There's a similar building in San Francisco, I think it's near the new Transbay Terminal? I've moved away so I can't drive down and search for it myself, sadly.

I was shocked when I first encountered it: "What eldritch thing broods in a windowless skyscraper?" But of course, a phone exchange.

(Any hams here? I remember seeing a tall building in S.F. with a log-periodic antenna on its roof; a consulate, maybe.)


I'll have to go find it next time I'm in SF then. :-)

That was my exact reaction!
