It's easy to "imagine" San Francisco without "the Pyramid." which is actually called the Transamerica Tower. It's a recent addition to the city - built around 1970-1972 - which makes it but 34 years old. Like the Eiffel Tower, it met with disdain and opposition when it was planned and built. To this day many long-time San Franciscans consider it an abomination.
