Front:
TEPPING from the elevator, after a silent, swift flight of twenty-four stories ... you are in a
different world. Soft, deep carpets; subdued lights; luxurious furnishings
transparent walls of plate glass that surround the entire floor, San Francisco lies at your feet. The
Bay Bridge, green Yerba Buena Island, the Contra Costa hills, the Bay Cities. You follow the
horizon .. . Nob Hill, the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, Twin Peaks, Civic Center, Market
Street, the teeming industrial area . . . all these in the brief circle. And when the brilliant palette
of the sunset is quenched in the Pacific, a Fairy Land springs into life. Long files of street lights
marching up the encircling hills. Blazing windows from a thousand serrated buildings. Neon signs
intense with green and crimson fires. And overhead, the spangled canopy of the sky, with
perhaps a silver crescent sailing through wisps of cloud . . . THIS is the "Sky Room."
