Facts

- Built at a time Market Street was in decline the tower was turned to face Bush Street, with the outside mosaic tile clad tower, housing the stairs and elevators, facing Market.
- The architects were recognized with a Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects in 1961.
- Designated city landmark on May 17, 1987.
