Description
The Old And The New
As your driving south down Columbus Avenue in San Francisco through what is known as Little Italy this is the scene you will see. In the foreground is the Sentinel/Columbus Tower and the building in the background is the Trans America Building.
The Trans America Building was completed in 1972 and was the tallest building in the city at the time and the 8th tallest in the world. It remained the tallest building until the completion of the Salesforce Tower that opened in 2018.
Columbus Tower was completed in 1907. It was originally named the Sentinel Building until 1958 when it was bought and renovated. Upon completion it was renamed the Columbus Tower. It held that name until it was bought by Francis Coppola and he renamed it the Sentinel Building once again.

Great capture of these two iconic buildings in San Francisco. I have had to photograph the Trans America Building from a distance, but I wish I had seen the Sentinel Building
