| Facts |
|
The name reverted to the original "Palmolive Building"
during its 2002 conversion to condominiums. |
The height includes a 97-foot tower which used to hold the
Lindbergh Beacon. The beacon was turned off when taller buildings
were built in the immediate neighborhood, so it would not
shine into apartment windows. |
