Well okay what is it . This is a building we will go to this. Its a magnetic silencing device and cable in the buy and ships could line over it and see what kind of signals they are sending out and used in especially world war ii it hasnt been used in a long time and intended to be restored as the harbors master master oe and its on the marina green and it has this thing on the top and do you notice this and the second town building did and the bigger ones were called monsters. Isnt that right . And they call it a monitor and hampon roads and Chesapeake Bay in the civil war and a lot of these had monitors to let in light and sky light and the old marina station and i can tell you about this building and the side of Telegraph Hill and built by mr. Gonya and a friend of ours and great uncle and personal residence out of concrete and this is an opening dome in the living room and large room ceiling. Transamerica building. Definitely unusual. Cost 19 million to build this and 853 feet tall
Its own mint. The temporary quarters were in this building and cost 93,000. This building is a landmark california historic landmark and built the new building around it. On top of it too. And this on commercial street below kearney and its a museum of pacific history or Something Like that and it is temporary it was temporary until the mint was built at fifth and Mission Street and people say is now the old mint but this is in fact the old mint and this is what pat this is just up the street. A little unusual house i saw on commercial street. Thats all we see right now of the belli building. I couldnt be get behind it. This an old brick building that in some ways survived the 06 quake. A lot of the buildings did and i have a client that still owner its. Right around the corner there are two buildings there and this area did survive the earthquake and the fire.

Emergency e aggress. And theyre designed if there an explosion it doesnt blow the walls out. And one of my favorite is the old pump station and now used as the headquarters of the Fire Department and one thing that makes this dare i say odd building and has live tidal sea water from the cove. The bu bay used to be right about there. The bay was about a couple hundred yards away maybe 800yards away and so there is now an under ground i have duct that via duct that brings this here and can take water from the bay and into the High Pressure system for most earthquake or fire protection. If they ran out of regular domestic water. Or if the pipes broke and that happened in 1906 and might happen. A couple of other things that make this building interesting and turning it into the firefighter headquarters and they have complicated occupancies and i look at these things and hard to have fuel storage next to the big assembly but they did that. They have fuel storage and parking and right above

Lawmakers say hes got to go, but the administration only hints at it. The white house may be nearing some form of military action. President barack obama tells top lawmakers in congress that hell seek their input but he doesnt need their permission. This as sources tell us that the u. S. Is carrying out man reconnaissance flights. Heres secretary of state john kerry defending dallas to nbc. Maliki was asking for help with air strikes in the last few weeks, as this was coming. As isis was coming toward this part of iraq. Why didnt we act then.
