The backdrop view of San Francisco from Kirk's apartment was previously used in the movie ''The Towering Inferno'' (1974). The backdrop in that movie was used for a 135th floor restaurant from a perspective about 1,500 feet (457 meters) above downtown San Francisco. The metallic sculpture in Kirk's apartment near the fireplace bears a striking resemblance to the "Glass Tower" skyscraper in the movie. |

A Quarren (species) apartment complex
An apartment is a building that holds housing units for many people, each individual unit usually smaller than a full-size house. Such property is usually a leasehold estate, with only limited rights vested in the lessee. The lessor, or land lord, legally owns the property in toto, while granting limited rights of possession and use to the lessee in exchange for rents paid.

James Kirk's apartment (San Francisco)
Kirk's apartment in San Francisco was filled with collectables that demonstrated his interest in the past, including many nautical objects.

James T. Kirk's San Francisco apartment was the home of Admiral James T. Kirk in 2285. It was in a tall skyscraper in San Francisco and featured sweeping views of the city, the bay, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and at least two other prominent 23rd century skyscrapers. The apartment featured a fireplace in the living room with a curved wall and mosaic treatment behind it. To the left of the fireplace and to the right of the windows there was a metallic sculpture that perhaps could have been a model of the skyscraper the apartment was in. Kirk filled the apartment with antiques, reflecting his fondness for them; in particular, a lot of the antiques were of a nautical nature. Also among the items were 18th and 19th century Earth firearms and a late 20th century Earth computer. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
