Building History

The San Francisco Call newspaper noted in its issue of 05/25/1912 the construction of a new office building for the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company, Ltd., in San Francisco. It wrote: "The Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance company, Ltd., will erect upon the northeast corner of California and Liedesdorff streets a two story marble building in keeping with the other classic structures of the neighborhood. The frontage of this building in California street is 30 feet by a depth of 124 feet in Liedesdorff street. This building is being designed by Bliss & Faville, architects, Balboa Building, and the drawings show a building in the Florentine period of the Italian renaissance. The design calls for a two story building in gray Tennessee marble, the cornice line to be 60 feet above the sidewalk. It will be erected under segregated bids at a cost of $150,000." (See "Marble Building To Rise Soon," San Francisco Call, 05/25/1912, p. 19.)
