Pereira and originally served as the headquarters for Transamerica Corporation. Standing at 853 feet (260 meters), it is one of the most distinctive architectural features of San Francisco's skyline. While no longer the tallest building in the city, it remains a cherished landmark, recognized worldwide for its unique pyramid shape contrasted by four revolving light beams at its top, known as the "Crown Jewel." Its design was intended to allow natural light to filter down to the streets below, showing a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, making it a pioneering model in urban architectural design.
