San Francisco is a city of world-famous museums, bridges, stately Victorian houses, and other architectural marvels. But it is also capable of some rather unusual structures, like this one. I don't know the name of it, but it is located on the southeastern slope of Telegraph Hill. This photo was taken from the corner of Broadway and Stockton in Chinatown.
Obviously too tiny to be an apartment building, as each floor seems about the size of a small room, it nevertheless has large balconies commanding what must be superlative views of the Bay, the skyscrapers of the financial district, the southern part of the City and the bridges.
Assuming the bedroom is on the top level, then the bathroom and kitchen might be on the middle level, and the living room on the lower one. I think it must be a very interesting house to visit. I wonder if the blue dome houses an observatory, or the machinery for a small elevator.
