A scenic picture of the Transamerica Pyramid building located in the financial district of San Francisco, California. The Transamerica building was completed in 1972 and was the tallest building in the United States west of the Mississippi River from 1972-1974; surpassed by the Aon Center in Los Angeles. The Pyramid is no longer the company headquarters, but it serves as Transamerica's corporate logo and is strongly identified with the corporation. Today it is a world-class office tower and home to more than 50 high-profile firms employing about 1,500 people. It is also surrounded by 4 and 5 star hotels, restaurants, galleries, clubs and shopping, and the colorful neighborhoods of Jackson Square, Chinatown and North Beach.
