Columbus Tower, Steel-framed flatiron building in North Beach, San Francisco, US
The eight-floor Columbus Tower features white tiles and copper-green accents at the intersection of Columbus Avenue, Kearny Street, and Jackson Street.
The structure's steel frame endured the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, allowing construction to continue and reach completion in 1907.
Film director Francis Ford Coppola purchased the building in 1972, establishing it as the headquarters for American Zoetrope film production company.
Visitors can experience Italian cuisine at Cafe Zoetrope on the ground floor while exploring the intersection of North Beach, Chinatown, and Financial District.
The basement contains a private screening room where directors review their productions and industry professionals gather for film presentations.
