At the front on the lower left is the historic Millennium Biltmore Hotel. When erected in 1923 it was the largest hotel west of the Mississippi. It's been in Chinatown, Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, National Treasure and Spider-Man. To the right is the Gas Company Tower, finished in 1991. And to the left in the back is the U.S. Bank Tower. Comleted in 1989, the U.S. Bank Tower is the the tallest building in California and West of the Mississippi, 10th tallest in the United States and the 47th tallest in the world. It is still the tallest building in the world that has a helipad on its roof.
