A couple weeks or so ago the Tom Selleck CBS series "BLUE BLOODS" ran an episode where one of the storylines was the Mustang from "Bullit" was hijacked, and the NYPD had to get it back. Supposedly some nerdy guy owned it ... turned out it was (A.) a plot by the "owner" for insurance fraud and (B.) wasn't even the real BULLIT car but a repro.
That old "Town Hall" building was used as the exterior in the old Raymond Burr series "IRONSIDE" for the bldg his "office/living space" was located in on the top floor ....for those here who may recall that old series.
The interior of Ironside's office was a set in Hollywood at Universal Studio....and those who paid real attention will note the interior geometry/spacing shown in set did not truly match the exterior filmed in San Francisco. After the Town Hall was razed, the show had to use its cache of pre-filmed images of the old Town Hall.
A bit of trivia: That rooftop "where the girl was shot" atop a hotel, stands on the ground where the Old San Francisco Town Hall used to stand up until a year or two prior to the making of that Eastwood film.Captain Gyro said:
