Overview

This post-1906 building accommodated the Hansford Investment Company, located at 268 Market Street, in 1909. (See San Francisco, California, City Directory, 1909, p. 732.) The building had two entrances, one at 268 Market and 25 California Street. An earlier, three-story, commercial block,known as the Hansford Block Market, was in operation in 1880, and was presumably lost in the Earthquake and Fire of 04/18-19/1906.
