Maskey Building by Dale Cruse Via Flickr: Nestled in the heart of San Francisco’s bustling cityscape lies the iconic Maskey Building, a gem of historical architecture that harkens back to the city’s storied past. With its intricate Beaux-Arts facade and grand presence, this edifice is a testament to San Francisco’s rich cultural tapestry and architectural innovation. Constructed in the early 20th century, the Maskey Building has withstood the test of time, surviving earthquakes and modernization to remain a proud beacon of history. Its creamy terracotta exterior is adorned with elaborate ornamentation, featuring classical columns, decorative cornices, and sculptural reliefs that capture the essence of an era when craftsmanship was king. The building’s interior is just as impressive as its exterior. Original features like wrought-iron railings and wood-paneled elevators transport visitors back to a time when attention to detail was paramount. The Maskey Building isn’t just an office space; it’s a piece of living history that continues to inspire awe and admiration from architects, historians, and tourists alike. For those seeking an authentic slice of San Francisco heritage or businesses looking for an address that exudes elegance and prestige, the Maskey Building offers more than just square footage—it provides a connection to the city’s golden age. Discover this architectural marvel for yourself and step into a world where history meets modernity in perfect harmony.

Cesar Pelli, Designer of San Francisco's Sales Force Tower & Iconic Buildings Around the World, Dies at 92 Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects is today, one of the most prolific designers of skyscrapers around the world. Mr. Pelli grew up in northern Argentina. In 1952, he came north to continue his architecture training at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Mr. Pelli spent almost 10 years at the Eero Saarinen firm, the great Finnish-American architect then working in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. In 1967, Mr. Pelli took a job in California at a giant architecture and engineering firm known as DMJM. In 1968, he went to work for Gruen Associates, a large Los Angeles-based architecture firm, under whose aegis he designed the Pacific Design Center. In 1976, Pelli was selected as the dean of Yale’s school of architecture. " in buildings like Goldman Sachs in Jersey City, and the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, Mr. Pelli developed a curving tower form that appeared to bend inward gently as it met the sky, a shape that returned to modernism but that replaced sharp edges with a natural, sculptural ease. His late work would increasingly be defined by softly curving facades of glass, and a determination to find quiet, understated but memorable sculptural form, part of a lifelong search for alternatives to the boxy towers of midcentury modernism. " * Cesar Pelli died on Friday at his home in New Haven. He was 92. His wife, the landscape architect Diana Balmori, died in 2016; they were divorced in 2001 yet remained close. He is survived by two sons and two grandchildren. . . . . #cesarpelli #pelliclarkpelli #pelliclarkpelliarchitects #salesforcetower #petronastower #pacificdesigncenter #thebluewhale #universityofillinoischampaign #moma #yale #modernism #architecture #sf #sanfrancisco #sfarchitecture #architects #modern #design #saarinen #eerosaarinen source: @nytimes https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/20/arts/cesar-pelli-dead.html (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0L8Lvgn4oT/?igshid=1pfqot3yy8rez

When I heard, "Palace of Fine Arts". I was anticipating a museum that displays art artifacts. . . Now switch that mindset, Art is the foundation of this Palace. . . The intricate details of the sculptures. The peace and serenity flowing through.
