675 California Street - San Francisco

"A clean jewel of steel and glass softened by the trees of St. Mary's Square, the narrow three-story box looks less like a building than a pristine diagram that happens to be displayed amid battered masonry and happily dissonant cable cars. An especially deft touch is the circular staircase; placed in the most visible corner, it makes the interior life of the building part of the overall design." A.E. Waegerman, 3 stories, 1964
