Powerful facade. Sort of narrow on one side.

Nice, but nothing particularly special - I can think of so many better examples of this style of architecture.

I think it needs more setbacks.

I was checking out the San Francisco diagrams on SSP. I was wondering if this was the tallest in the city on completion but (according to SSP) the PacBell Building was built in 1924 at 132.7m and Russ Building was built in 1927 at 132.6m. It missed out on being equal tallest by 10 centimetres!!!! They should have just glued a pencil on top or something.

Anyway I give it a 7/10. Fine building

yes and because it was set on a slight hill it appeared taller, so it was regarded as the cities tallest for quite some time i believe.
