Above left: 50 Fremont Center (183m/600f, 43 stories, 1983), San Francisco's 5th tallest building.
Above middle and right: three pictures of 101 California Street (183m/600f, 48 stories, 1982).
This building is one of San Francisco's best looking, but unfortunately very hard to get a good picture of,
since the building stands right in the middle of a very packed financial district.
