First Chinese Baptist Church with Transamerica Pyramid in Background
The First Chinese Baptist Church of San Francisco anchors this Chinatown streetscape with its deeply textured brick façade and arched fenestration, standing proudly on the corner of Waverly Place and Sacramento Street. From this angle, the iconic Transamerica Pyramid rises in the distance, creating a powerful architectural juxtaposition between a historic faith-based institution and a symbol of San Francisco’s modern skyline. A colorful mural facing Willie “Woo Woo” Wong Playground further ties the building to the community it serves. The church’s architectural strength, combined with the cultural heartbeat of Chinatown, captures the spirit of perseverance and transformation in San Francisco.
