A beautifully designed and maintained urban garden surrounds the first postwar high-rise building — a “tower in a park.” It features river rocks embedded in concrete, inlaid with a striking design of bands of grey slate. A fountain sculpture spouts and drips water. The planting consists of cherry, willow and pine trees and evergreen ground cover. The garden lies below street level and resembles a moat. It is for visual enjoyment only; no seating has been provided, the river rocks are hard to walk on and no food service is available. Needed improvements: seating in garden, food service On sunny days the stone walls along the Sansome Street sidewalk (snippets) are well used for lunching and people- watching. Open at all times.
