Flood Building — Attraction in San Francisco

In my Opinion this is one of the most beautiful buildings in downtown San Francisco if not the most, at least architecture wise. The beautiful gentle curves of the hallways made of wonderfully polished marble and deep rich wood with the antique doors still in place with transoms and mail slots still intact. You feel as if for a moment you feel as if you have been whisked back in time a hundred years. You half expect there to be men in suits having some clandestine meetings that can change the future as we know it (maybe just wishful thinking) It is a historic landmark and if nothing else step into the lobby and check out their display case of the history of the building and in turn part of San Francisco history definitely...

The beauty of this building will never be duplicated, ever again. No current architect has the love of beauty that existed when the Flood was thought up. It's from when architecture was art. As I was walking through the lobby, on my way out, a man, in about his mid 30's, was GUSHING to the security guards about how beautiful the building was. He was floored by the detail. It just clobbers you as soon as you're feet take you a few steps. The WOW Factor. You'll never hear that from anyone coming out of one of the glass monoliths that's being forced on our eyes now. I call it "The Emperor's New Clothes" style of architecture. I look at 'em and hope for a good earthquake to knock all of...

This was most definitely a new experience for me. Never before have I been to the Flood Building. It's quite impressive.

Really the most impressive part of it was the friendliness of the doorman. Though appearing quite old, he wasn't one of those snooty condescending types you often see in a large upscale office building. Everyone else that I had the luck of running into was nice and friendly too.

Another great aspect of the building is the abundance of elevators. There must be like 10 in a row and they function pretty fast.

As far as I've seen, it is very quiet and peaceful inside. I wouldn't mind having an office...
