The Sentinel Building is San Francisco Historical Landmark 33.

Designed by Salfield and Kohlberg,the flatiron building is clad in white tile and copper. Construction began before the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. The framing survived and the building was completed in 1907.

The top floor housed the real estate brokerage of Political boss Abe Ruef after his release from San Quentin State Prison on charges of graft.

Many San Francisco guides, both paper and cyber, report that Caesar salad was invented here during prohibition, that the original hungry i nightclub was located in the basement, and that the Kingston Trio bought the building in 1959 and recorded here.

The first report is almost certainly false. It is generally acknowledged that Caesar salad was improvised by Caesar Cardini at his restaurant in Tijuana using leftover Romaine lettuce and ingredients that happened to be on hand. According to Cardini's daughter Rosa, the date was July 4th 1924.

A very young Barbra Streisand sang at the hungry i, but Barbra Archives states that the nightclub was in the basement of the now demolished International Hotel.

Regarding the Kingston Trio, evidence suggests that the trio did own the building but that their studio recordings were made at Capital Records Studio B in...

Il Sentinel Building, noto anche come Columbus Tower, è un'icona architettonica di San Francisco situata all'angolo tra Columbus Avenue e Kearny Street, nel quartiere North Beach. Con la sua caratteristica facciata color verde rame, è uno degli edifici più riconoscibili della città. L'edificio fu completato nel 1907, poco dopo il devastante terremoto del 1906. È stato progettato in stile Beaux-Arts, con una base triangolare che ricorda la celebre Flatiron Building di New York. Negli anni '70, il Sentinel Building fu acquistato da Francis Ford Coppola, il celebre regista, che vi stabilì la sede della sua casa di produzione, American Zoetrope.

La facciata dell'edificio è rivestita di rame ossidato, un materiale che nel tempo ha sviluppato la tipica patina verde, dovuta al processo di ossidazione naturale. Questo non solo gli conferisce un aspetto unico, ma è anche un segno distintivo della sua autenticità storica. Il Sentinel Building è stato protagonista di numerosi film e fotografie, diventando un simbolo dello skyline storico di San Francisco. La sua posizione strategica offre una vista suggestiva verso il Transamerica Pyramid, creando un interessante contrasto tra passato e presente. Il Sentinel Building è più di un edificio: è un pezzo di storia vivente, che unisce il fascino del design classico con l’energia culturale contemporanea di...

Great history! Great restaurant — Francis Coppola's joint — underneath his movie studio facilities — where they serve meatballs made of beef, pork, and veal which is his own recipe! He also serves the wines from his own vineyards. Sometimes he hangs out, usually in an outdoor seat. The local custom us just to let him chill without disturbances or photos. San Francisco does not make a fuss over celebrties as Los...

Took a bus and passed by little Italy, noticed a building that looks quite odd compared to the others. It’s oddly beautifully, the green architecture made me purposely took another bus and pass by here just to enjoy the marvelous design and stood out from the rest. In the end, I bought an ice cream, sat there and looked at it for 30min If you enjoyed the review, leave a 👍🏻
