James Kirk's apartment (San Francisco)

Kirk and McCoy — McCoy visiting Kirk in his San Francisco apartment

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)

A production still of the San Francisco backdrop for Kirk's apartment in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

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 overlooking San Francisco. The metallic sculpture in Kirk's apartment near the fireplace bears a striking resemblance to the "Glass Tower" skyscraper in the movie.
