"The Hobart Building" ~ Designed by architect Willis Polk, the Hobart Building is a popular historic landmark in San Francisco. The exterior is a prime example of neoclassical architecture and is composed of sculpted terra cotta. The Hobart Building is surrounded by modern skyscrapers, providing one example of many where modern buildings blend harmoniously into this cityscape filled with historic architecture.
"Window Shopping" ~ Wedding dresses are uniquely displayed in the windows of a bridal shop in Union Square. The building recently underwent a complete renovation that artfully preserved the original 1907 brick exterior by encapsulating it behind layers of translucent and frosted glass. The building stands in striking contrast amongst the dark masonry buildings that surround it. The reflection of a 12-story building completed in 1909 appears in the glass façade, presenting a distinct example of harmoniously blending modern architectural elements into San Francisco's cityscape that is filled with historic architecture.
"Sea Gull over Coit Tower" ~ A sea gull rests on the railing at Pier 7 with Coit Tower under its beak.
