The Transamerica Pyramid recently unveiled a time capsule from its 1974 grand opening, containing artifacts that showcase historical sentiments against the building. Originally forgotten, the capsule included newspaper clippings, postcards, and audio recordings, revealing that many San Franciscans disliked the skyscraper, seen as a symbol of corporate arrogance. The capsule was rediscovered amid a resurgence of interest in the Pyramid after its reopening under new ownership. The display of the opened time capsule starts this Sunday, allowing public access to remarkable historical pieces.
The time capsule, placed in the Transamerica Pyramid in 1974, revealed surprising relics that show how San Franciscans deeply opposed the building's existence.
Opened on Tuesday, the capsule contained various artifacts, including newspaper clippings and even an original recipe for the famed cocktail, pisco punch.
