Talk:Central Tower (San Francisco)

Merge articles?

See Talk:Spreckels Building, San Francisco, California#Merge articles? as I understand this building has a number of pages about it that might benefit from being one article. DVD 02:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

On second thought, I'm going to propose that both articles: The Call Building, and Spreckels Building, San Francisco, California be merged to this article, the current location. DVD 03:01, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

• Just redirect them. P.S. Double-check anything found on emporis.com. NVO (talk) 03:20, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
  • OK, I double-checked and redirected them. Best, DVD 03:15, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Current photo needed

It would be good to add a current photo to this article, showing how the building now looks. --98.232.176.109 (talk) 01:11, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Looks like the photo is current. tedder (talk) 03:45, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Art Deco?

The original Call Building was Baroque Revival and Beaux Arts, per The American skyscraper, 1850-1940: a celebration of height, page 212. In 1938 it was radically refurbished and "Art-Deco-ized" (same source). This is not mentioned in the article at all, and no assessment of the success of the 1938 refurb is given. No judgment is made as to whether the building changed from one combination of two styles to a standalone Art Deco work. At The Skyscraper Page, the building is classified as a combination of Streamline Moderne (a late Art Deco style) and neo-classicism, implying an incomplete transition.

My main complaint about the Art Deco category is that there is no discussion at all about Art Deco in the body of the article. We cannot go around assigning categories based on personal opinion, we must have expert sources at hand. Binksternet (talk) 03:50, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

i think that's a completely unnecessary level of pedanticism. one only need look at the building to see the style, but you can use this link for a source. --emerson7 04:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

It's not too much to ask that a category be represented by article text. Not pedantic at all. Binksternet (talk) 04:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
