Day 47 — Two O’Clock Titty

The Cathedral of #SaintMaryoftheAssumption (1971) in #SanFrancisco was modelled after the Cathedral of Saint Mary in Tokyo.

While it was never an intentional design choice, thanks to a combination of the Brutalist church’s geographic location and architectural shape, a shadow in the shape of a breast spreads across the church for all to see each afternoon.

Other nicknames include #OurLadyofPerpetualAgitation and #OurLadyofMaytag because the structure resembles the agitator of a washing machine.

The peepshow is best caught around 2 pm from the corner of Rose and Octavia Streets and remains a staple of academic life for #Catholic schoolboys.
