By Steven Dahlman

5-Feb-17 – A woman appears to be sitting on the edge and at the top of the 22-story London Guarantee Building in an image shared on Facebook recently.

The artistic photo appears to have originated with Konstantin Strilets, owner of American Alfa Construction, Inc., of Sacramento. After Loop North contacted Strilets on Facebook to ask if the image was authentic, he disappeared from Facebook.

The woman, who appeared in other, tamer photos on Strilets’s Facebook page, is sitting at the northeast corner of London Guarantee Building, overlooking a new addition for LondonHouse hotel visible in the lower left corner.

LondonHouse is the primary occupant of the 93-year-old London Guarantee Building. Management at LondonHouse did not respond to a request for comment.
