Bellaire tower

This 20-story white tower at the corner is stylish, isn’t it? That’s the Bellaire Tower, nicknamed “the Jewel”, which stands on top of Russian Hill. This magnificent Art Deco-style building was built in 1930 by architect Herman Carl Baumann, one of the city’s most iconic architect in the early 1900s. This corner offers you a typical view over the 4 streets connecting to it. If you look in the direction of Leavenworth, you will have a perfect view over Alcatraz.
