Pacific Gas and Electric Company General Office Building and Annex, Historic office building in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.

The seventeen-story Pacific Gas and Electric Company headquarters features terra cotta cladding, an arcaded lower section, and multiple setbacks at the top floors.

Constructed between 1923 and 1925, the building expanded in 1945 with an annex to accommodate the growing operations of Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

The structure incorporates Beaux-Arts architectural elements, including classical arcades and allegorical representations of power and light across its two-story entrance.

Located at 245 Market Street, the building maintains its original function as the administrative center for one of California's largest utility companies.

The building's upper floors display paired Doric columns with full entablature, reflecting design elements similar to San Francisco's City Hall dome.
