I worked in the very top floor. It's a very tiny office with triple art carpeting.

I know an about this place. my father was the first native Indian to become a head foreman for dinwiddie construction. my sister and I were on the unfinished floors looking out at the fog rolling in and just enjoying the view of Alcatraz the Golden gate bridge and parts of a Sausalito and Marin. and the very top of the Transamerica pyramid was all lights because that's where all the electrical system was and then below that they had a disco that was their private disco. I'm a kid I don't know what that means, lol! and it was really nice just to look down at the street you can actually see Hugh Hefner's Playboy club right across the street and boy was it a whole bunch of people and I asked my dad why are there so many bunny rabbits? again I'm a kid all we can do is laugh. my father was also the foreman for the Bank of America building. wow memories and icons of the Bay Area how beautiful can life get with those kind of memories!

The top half of the pyramid is actually a crazy little stairwell that goes up to this big light at the top. They use two helicopters to put it on. There is a book on top where you can sign your name. Pretty cool.
