Building History

The distinguished San Francisco architectural firm of Miller and Pflueger designed this eleven-story office building in 1930. It originally housed brokerage offices for those who worked on the floor of the San Francisco Stock Exchange located next door at 301 Pine Street. It also accomodated the Pacific Stock Exchange Lunch Club between 1930 and 1987. The Berkeley architect Michael Goodman, Sr., (1903-1991) also a Professor of Architecture at the University of California, designed the interiors of the Stock Exchange Club on the tenth and eleventh floors.

In 1988. the City Club of San Francisco took over the Pacific Stock Exchange Lunch Club spaces.

Building Notes

Exterior sculpture was done by artist Ralph Stackpole (1895-1973), done in a Machine Age Classical style. The New York-base design store, W. and J. Sloane Company, provided the furniture. W. and J. Sloane had, since the last quarter of the 19th century, maintained a successful branch store in San Francisco.

Alteration

The tenth and eleventh floors were renovated in 1988 for the City Club of San Francisco, which moved into the building at that time.
