Isn't is amazing how telephone buildings are often the most interesting and ornate in the city? Great vantage point for the shot.

Wow, that is amazing. I like what the above user said about "gotham looking". Awesome San Fran pic. This is something every San Francisco Photographer or resident should see.

I'm often surprised at how un-ornate telephone buildings can be. The other day I was in Salinas wondering what this one big, blank building with microwave apparati on top was, and I found it was an AT&T building, which reminded me of the big, blank phone building in Downtown San Jose. I've heard they're built that way in case of disaster. This building is beautiful, however.
