The Transamerica Pyramid is a four-sided skyscraper in the Financial District, distinguished by its white quartz-aggregate facade and a dramatic, tapering profile that rises to a point eight hundred and fifty-three feet in the air. Completed in nineteen seventy-two, the building was designed by architect William Pereira, who intended the slender, conical shape to allow more natural light to reach the streets below.
