Sometimes we build tall, and sometimes we build tall and weird. When this building was completed in 1972, the SF Chronicle called it ‘the biggest architectural dunce cap in the world.’ No longer headquartered there, what company is forever associated with it?

When the Transamerica building was finished, it was the eighth tallest building in world. Now it's fallen to #382. What a difference 50 years makes.
