Oakland architectural firm, Richardson and Beverell won the $600,000 commission and created the design for the eclectic building, possessing some features of the Pueblo Revival Style mixed with other idioms popular in the Bay Area at the time. Sommarstrom Brothers of Oakland, CA, erected the Sequoia Building just before the onset of World War I.

Demolished; the Sequoia Building suffered a serious fire on 11/18/2011. The fire lasted 17 hours and destroyed most of the 95-year-old apartment building's interior. Its brick facade remained standing following the blaze, along with a small portion of the interior. Despite the integrity of the facade, crews wrecked the building on 11/29-30/2011. Apparently, 29.5 feet of the original structure was to be saved and reinforced for future use.
