Sensational!
The story is, the buildings in the Jackson Square area survived the 1906 fire because many of them were wine warehouses and the contents were used to put out any fires that got going.
It's a modern classic, but the Crown Zellerbach building is still one of the best glass skyscrapers ever built; distant cousin to Lever House on Park Ave.
You missed the Pied Piper bar off of the spectacular Garden Court of the Palace Hotel. It's the location of Maxfield Parrish's "The Pied Piper" mural, a companion to "Old King Cole" at the St. Regis in New York.
